It Ain't Broke!

George Bush is a true enigma. Does anyone believe that we didn't have the capacity to discern whether there were weapons of mass destruction in pre-occupied Iraq? Now he attacks Social Security. No actuary supports his math. What are we to make of this 'popular' President? Craven? I think not. Badly advised? Pitifully. The deficit is monumental. The dollar is crashing. Foreign investors are not lining up at the discount window to fund our debt. The Euro which has gained 50% in value over the dollar in the past four years stands ready to be the global currency of choice. Should not these problems be addressed rather than tinker with Social Security?AlterNet: It Ain't Broke!
