What a great story on the rhetoric game.... washingtonpost.com I especially liked the phrase off the chutzpah meter. It doesn't make any difference how it's used, but it's a lot more entertaining than, I can see you are invincibly ignorant This one is really good also... "At the national level, the president will make it clear that irresponsible spending is the biggest threat to Social Security, Medicare and our men and women in uniform," said Jim Wilkinson, deputy White House communications director. "At the local level, we'll be saying, 'Democrats are holding up your education money, your highway money, your environmental protection money, to play politics.'‚" Have they figured out yet what consitutes irresponsible spending? Is Delay's request for the corporate airport "disaster fund" irresponsible funding? It's a real laugh to see that both sides have figured out that the public bought into the rhetoric of the accounting game for SS, i.e., they [the public]actually think it's spending SS and Medicare... jttmab

protectsocialsecurity.com Daschle Said That There Was No Social Security Trust Fund, Per Se. “Ah yes, I do [believe there is a Social Security trust fund]. . . . Legally, there is a requirement that the money be invested, and you could call that a fund, yes. . . . No, there is no such fund, per se.” (Robert Novak, “There Really Is No SS Trust Fund,” The State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL), December 5, 1996) There is, there isn't, there is...they all play the rhetoric game. I've read more than a couple times on this thread, conservatives claiming there is no SS Trust Fund...Bob Novak thinks there is...at least in 1996 he did. jttmab
