1. Greenspan is full of shit.

"IF" we are on a path of continued deficits, then we are on the wrong path....If? If!!!!

[kentuck]

2. Sounds like he's pushing Bush's SS plan...??

thru the back door??

4. yes indeed!

5. This is like the 2nd front on the attack on Social Security...

They bring out Greenspan as the authority. If they could add 2 + 2 they could see the contradiction in his own remarks. If, as he says, "..every dollar used to pay down deficit is good for SS..", then it follows that the deficit spending has been bad for Social Security and could be interpreted as the main reason we are in this mess. Just say it! Bush's deficits have threatened Social Security and every program that helps people in this country. Lets destroy this government! The people are the government. Do you want to be destroyed by Bush and the radicals??

3. What these guys don't seem to get is that a lot of us out here

DON'T TRUST THEM--NONE OF THEM. WE DON'T TRUST CORPORATE CEOs AND BOARDS either. Why should we? I don't care if Weed and his buddies brought a plan out on a gold platter and tied with pretty bows. I have no reason to believe, based on their previous performance in other arenas, to trust their motives or their plan. They lie.

Greenspan lies too. He is a flack for Wall Street. I'm sick to death of people telling him what a "national treasure" he is.
