"The Hack" Attacks...
Sen. Harry Reid (NV) was right.0 comments
Unbelievable story.
It's surprising—considering the GOP's full-frontal attacks on teaching Evolution in schools—that they so fully support Pure Darwinian Theory in all matters financial.
GOP to America: "I've Got Mine; Fuck You."
Fed Chief: Social Security cuts are inevitable
Now that Republican Government has been proven to be fully morally bancrupt and creatively stagnant in helping the Commonweal, it's looking more and more like the 2006 elections may prove a political wasteland for GOP candidates. Indeed, this all could be heading towards "scorched earth" territory. The GOP's greed is simply consuming them.
Bush White House Financial Apologist Alan Greenspan has either flipped more times than he's flopped on tax cuts, surpluses, deficits and Social Security or flopped more times than he's flipped. It's impossible to keep track.
A couple of ideas which seem to have eluded the erudite Mr. Greenspan in his plan to Starve America's Grannies (SAG) include:
Killing the rest of Bush's tax cuts—which you and I will never see, in any event—will save an unnecessary outflow of $11 trillion, way more than enough to fund the $3 trillion shortfall facing SSI in the middle of the century when our children are geezers.
Lifting the $90,000 cap on SSI tax liability, favored by Americans in EVERY poll this year by a full and consistent 3-to-1 margin, allows well-heeled people like Alan Greenspan and the lobbyists and expense-account-lunch crowd over on Washington, D.C.'s K Street, and here in New York on Wall Street, the opportunity to help all those penniless Grandmothers, starving in the streets of Indiana and Idaho and Alabama.
I'm sure that, somewhere in the pockets of all those Armani suits, there are scraps of paper with notes on them, reminders to these successful souls to remember their humanity.
While they have any humanity left.
