Their Filthy Mitts

This whole Social Security brouhaha that Bush and his lying minions have been trying to use to turn the most successful social program in American history into a trainwreck boils down to one simple truth: Social Security is where a lot of money is and the greedmonsters on Wall Street want to get their filthy mitts on it, and they believe they've paid for the privilege by supporting Bush. It's killing the brokerage folks that there is all this dough and they can't put it into play so they can suck off their percentage of the flow, and screw those who might depend on it in the future. Remember, they get their fees whether you win or lose; in other words, they always win gambling with your money.

We had a pretty harrowing meltdown in the market in 2000 from which we still haven't recovered. Is our attention span now so short that Bush can play us like this? Thankfully not...at least so far. Given the impressive array of flacks and hacks that the Bushits can amass to bamboozle Americans about something as fundamental and horrible as war, I am not going to underestimate the lengths to which these scumbags (and I use that as a mild description) will go to get their way.

Please keep your guard up out there.
