| Bush's privatizing Social Security would cost ***$2 TRILLION*** |
|
just in TRANSITION costs, according to John King, who reports that CONSERVATIVE think tanks are backing this up.

| 1. They privatize away... |
|
what is ours, what is ours,
They privatiize away, and then they make us pay,
We'll take it back someday,
mark my words, mark my words,
We'll take it back someday, mark my words.
