The Return of "The Lockbox"?After all, Al Gore was proposing we strengthen SS by putting real tangible assets into the SS trust fund. (Well, actually, he was propsing we dedicate the suprlus to retiring debt now so we could borrow later, but close enough.) How is that different, in principle, than giving someone personal accounts -- privately owned personal accounts -- filled with tangile, real assets? (More real, in fact, than the ability to borrow later more easily.) When you have your own money -- money the government can't take away without just compensation, same as it can't (in, um, theory) seize your land without paying you fair market value -- in your own personal account, isn't that just you having your own private Al-Gore-endorsed lohhhhckbohhhhx? posted by Ace at 07:56 PM

The problem with Pres Bush's SS reform from the dems standpoint is that the lock box keeps out their greedy fingers. If they didn't have all that SS $ coming in, where would they finance their pork at such low interest rates? Posted by: rabidfox on March 9, 2005 09:13 AM
Ever since Reagan tried to fix SS, the Goddamned Democrats have made it impossible by their lies and obstructionism, for no good reason other than to gain politically. They have stopped desperately needed reforms and played political games with SS for over twenty years just to keep their power, while the situation gets worse and worse. They know Goddamn well this is going to cause untold suffering and misery to future recipients and just don't give a shit. Now, the choices are getting bleaker and bleaker with each passing day. The retirement age shall be raised to 70 with benefits reduced to a pittance throwing many boomers into permanent abject poverty upon retirement, and despite privitization younger workers face the same cuts. Hillary said Sunday that the system will be solvent for 38 to 48 years! The only thing that keeps me from becoming purple with rage over all this Monsterous Evil is that God has said: Vengence is mine ... I SHALL REPAY! They will face the Supreme Judge for their great crime, and this "homie don't play 'dat." Posted by: 72VIRGINS on March 9, 2005 11:02 AM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
