Default Bush steals from Social Security to pay off the wealthy

God Bless the 1000! Never forget who put them in Harm's Way!

30% of Bush tax cuts went to the top 1% wealthiest people and he stole this
money from the Social Security trust fund!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4371103/

"Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan urged Congress on Wednesday to
deal with the country's escalating budget deficit by cutting benefits
for future Social Security retirees."

During the debates in 2000, Bush pulled a fast one on the American
people by calling Gore's promise to "put social security in a lockbox,"
"fuzzy math." Everyone yoked it up about Bush's clever two word
response to everything Gore said. Well it ends up Gore was right. In
fact everyone knew Gore's math was correct at the time, but the press
was having too much fun broadcasting the two word GOP spin. So much for
our press.

What is most sickening about this is that in 2000, we had a budget
surplus! Bush drove the economy into the ditch, and now he wants to cut
the lifeline of lower and middle class Americans, social security. Bush
didn't even win the popular election, and yet he is purposely running
social security into the ditch.

From the book "Worse Than Watergate" by John Dean, page xvi of the preface:

"Equally worthy of attention is their (Bush's) hidden agenda to end
federal entitlement programs by running up budget-busting deficits while
hiking military spending, which is bleeding the federal treasury and
will ultimately result in there simply being no money available to pay
for social programs after this administration is gone. These, of course,
are programs - such as Social Security and Medicare - that they dare not
eliminate."

Of the 422 Billion dollar deficit, 270 billion is specifically because
of Bush tax cuts. Studies have shown that 30% of Bush tax cuts went to
the super weathy top 1%, so this means 81 billion was given to
millionaires. Where do you think Bush is getting this money? The answer
is simple, he is raiding the social security trust fund, which up to him
being elected, was incredibly healthy and completely solvent through the
middle of this century.

This news group is not the correct one for discussion of politics. The
appropiate newsgroup would be talk.politics.

Charles,

I have to admit that I have posted my political agenda here, but when Jean
O'Boyle asked me to stop, I did.

You are absolutely right that this newsgroup is for cruising, and not for
political purposes.
