A pertinent question

Okay, so now that things have pretty much gone to heck in a handbasket concerning the nation's financial markets, it seems like a good time to remember our peerless leader's pithy suggestion, some time ago, that we privatize Social Security.

Remember that?

You sure don't hear anything from the White House or Republican Party about that now, do you?

Ol' W wanted so badly to "give us choices", he said, and have us get off that awful Social Security program and let us choose how we wanted that money invested.

Holy cow.

If we had done that, so many years ago, can you imagine the mess the American people would be in today?

Mr. "Deep Thinker" and "Insightful" and "Long-term Strategist" that we know him to be would have us all in much worse "do-do" than we're already in.

Only W could do that.

(Thanks, Michael, for the idea).
