Mankiw and Greenspan are giving us gifts
Is this blind stupidity, or some kind of coup de tat within the Republican party?

1. Considering Bush was blindsided by Greenspan
I would say the later.

2. Give them points for honesty.
They are simply stating what they actually honestly believe, and what conservatives in general believe. Unfortunately for them, what they believe is generally seen as stupid by more than 1/2 of Americans, I would guess.

5. gutting overtime, outsourcing, lowering benefits
Greenspan says we should personally make up for the reduction in ss benefits. Yet we are losing our overtime and even losing our jobs so how do we make it up?

I think the real thing is that they expect us to live on nothing before we retire then kill ourselves of not before.
