Bush and the social security thing
I know I'm preachin to the choir here. But if social security is collapsing at our feet how come we didn't hear about it before the election? If everything he is saying is true (lol, oh that's such a funny statement sorry) then why didn't he mention the "crisis" during election time or any time prior to that and let us know how he was going to rescue us from it???

Otherwise, this exchange during the election would be all over the news and providing a hearty portion of crow for * to consume now. KKKRove depends on Amurkins to forget - and they have.

Obviously * didn't talk about his plan 1) because there's no "crisis" and 2) because he would have lost if he mentioned "piratization" during the campaign.

5. I talk with lots of folks who agree * and his thugs are FOS
but the difficulty is spurring anyone to act - even to call their Congressperson/Senator.

I'm encouraged by the fact that people are buying what * is selling re: SS (So far).

I'm anxious about Amurkins inactivity/apathy. The thugs assume silence to be agreement.
