O'Niell talked about this in Suskind's book. He said he and Greenspan had a pact to make Bush and the congress adopt the pay-go principle but it was their intention at the time to do it to prevent the tax cuts from becoming permanent.

I knew it.

I knew it.

I knew it!

ALL OF THIS is to drown the federal government in the bathtub and in order to do that you have to get rid of social security.

Most of you are not old enough to worry about it. And some people my age have been lucky enough to save some for retirement. I'll tell you what gets you though: your parents. My dad's last illness, all 6 years of it, would have bankrupted our family to the 9th degree.

What pisses me off the most about the GOP is that many of them rely on safety nets for their family members (HELLO? Medicare???) yet they push these tax cuts as though it has nothing to do with them. Guess they figure they will be dead, or at least their parents will be, by the time the whole economy collapses.

Creep!!!!

Greenspan did NOTHING to help Clinton. Was always sniping at him, refused to lower interest rates. What a whore. He should be the second person the next Dem president replaces. Right after Ashcroft.
