America made a deal with the taxpayer that there would be security in retirement after a lifetime of service and labor to the country. Now Bush wants to change the rates retroactively and reduce and or eliminate Social Security.

It's a far deeper problem than that. We're also seeing even blue chip companies easing out any kind of pension plan for their employees.

These kinds of games may keep stocks propped up temporarily a little longer, but it's only going to make the country hit the runway all the harder when there is an eventual currency crisis for the dollar. And that's not a question of if, but when.

When this does hit, and all forms of safety net have been systematically pruned from the system by the wealthy Right Wing, what are the Red State hoseheads who voted for Bush going to do ?

I know - they can pray at their f****ng dinner tables.
