WASHINGTON - President Bush and Democrats took their differences over Social Security to the airwaves on Saturday, with Bush complaining about "scare ads" against his plan and Democrats denouncing his proposal as a "risky privatization scheme."

<>In the Democratic broadcast an hour later, James Roosevelt Jr. - a grandson of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and former Social Security official - accused Bush of breaking a long tradition of bipartisan support for the retirement program.

"In 1935, my grandfather signed the Social Security Act into law, ensuring that Americans retired with financial security," Roosevelt said. "And since that time, Democrats and Republicans have worked together to protect and strengthen Social Security. Like most Americans, I agree with the guiding principle that America's workers deserve a secure retirement."

Bush reiterated his promise of no changes in current benefits to those already retired or who are age 55 or older, "no matter what the scare ads or the politicians might tell you."

<>"They do not prolong the life of the program by a single day," Roosevelt said. Roosevelt asserted that Bush and his GOP allies "have launched a 60-day campaign to sell their risky privatization scheme."

The flim-flam man and his GOP minions/enablers have absolutely no shame! Dubya is evidently willing to say anything, and his party, spend hundreds of millions to sell this pig in a poke to the American people.
