Social Security and Nuclear War

Social Security better not be doing much changing any time soon. Us thirty-somethings, as we are whether or not we admit it, are going to bear the brunt of the crisis under the Bush plan. Can we sacrifice our long-term, meaning 30 years or more, fiscal stability to the private market?

That's our payout thirty years from now. We have a vested interest in the long term stability of the Social Security system. Bush wants to deflate it now, and turn it over to his Enron-type Yale buddies.

I must admit that at this point I am really confused by President Bush. I had hoped that he would realize that that balloon had no lift. You can't touch this.

But over time he has really been blathering on, knowing full well he does not have enough capital to give the plan momentum. (Bush is short on momentum.) Or is he?

I suppose it's Karl Rove who I should be trying to figure out. Or maybe that Christian right guy. Or is it the man who has been to more Oath of Offices than pretty much anyone?

Is it the man who had it all figured out at Yale, so he skated along with C's while he did whatever nasty things frat boys do. And he slid through the National Guard. And avoided Vietnam.

He has Washington connections. Now, behind the scenes, he seems to be working his mojo. In a few weeks, who knows? A few months? I dread to think what he can do.

He had enough capital to declare a nuclear emergency in Iraq. What if he can talk up that kind of emergency again?
