Social Security bandit McCain resorts to logic-by-panic in seeking debate delay
Yet another Bush-driven scheme he's trying to push through without any serious debate. The if-we-don't-act-now-we're-doomed approach has worked before, so why not now? The GOP has reached a new low. Hard to believe, but true...

excerpt from column:

It’s not the idea of a bailout itself that is so unappealing, it’s this newfound tone of gun-to-the-head urgency both Bush and McCain are now embracing. Where were they at the last several years, when Obama was calling for economic changes on any number of levels, changes that would have helped avert the crisis we now face?

Well, for one thing, Bush, McCain and other Republicans were busy trying to turn Social Security into more fodder for Wall Street speculation. Does this urgent bailout contain any means by which Wall Street can get its hands on the Social Security Trust Fund? Since there’s no time for Congress to read the entire package before voting, we may not find out what all it contains until sometime next week.
