That set aside, you know the pattern for your party is to oppose anything and everything the president proposes. Your parties lack of vision is a leading reason they lost the last election.
Face it, privatization is "part" of the solution not part of the problem. If it fails, its a new reason for people to vote for republicans. Like the president, I have said I am for a compromised solution. It appears that some people are only against the president.
Ummm I am not a dem... But if you say it enough maybe you will believe it:)
I never said lawyers dont contribute to costs. I said that the insurance companies and admin costs are the largest portion of costs. Even the insurance companies own studies as I have shown previously back this up. But if the powers that be say that its the lawyers enough times then you will believe it.
Please at least quote me correctly.
Im not going to put links up to show you that the reps and dems are both removed from the real people and show lack of vision. This isnt about the reps being the party of good and the dems being the party of evillll. That is BS. They both are doing a lousy job of representing the majority (99%)of people in this country. Our gov is representing a small ownership class(1%).
What Ive read about Chiles solution is that it costs a lot more than ours and doesnt do nearly the job.
Remember what GW Bush was saying in 1978...
[Social Security] will be bust in 10 years unless there are some changes ... The ideal solution would be for Social Security to be made sound and people given the chance to invest the money the way they feel.
