IDIOT! * Claimed SS would go bust by 1988!

[Avalux]

According to a July 28th, 2000 article in USA Today, back in 1978 when President Bush was running for congress in Texas, "he predicted Social Security would go broke in 10 years and said the

1978 is in the pre-nexis era. So it's difficult to find coverage from the time if you're not on the scene. But presumably there are some local papers accessible on microfilm down in Texas that would shed more light on George W.: The Early Phase-Out Years.

2. I'm in San Antonio

may look into local stuff here. It's laughable anyone believes anything he says.

4. Boy that's the truth. I don't believe a word he utters. When he's

3. Maybe someone has Lexus-Nexus?

will have to do a microfilm search.

5. Yeah, but its not his fault

He probably said a lot of crazy shit back then. After all, he was a drunk-driving alcoholic.

7. He's still an alcoholic (even if he doesn't drive)

and he still says a lot of crazy shit.

8. Is anything ever his fault?

9. Of course not

He's the Chosen One. :eyes: His mother said so.

11. GWB was just following the Repub

agenda, the dismantling of Social Security. Hardline Republicans have never given up on trying to do away with the SS thorn in capitalism's side. There is simply no room for anything remotely resembling Socialism in the minds of the Hardliner capitalists. Privatization of all institutions, services and industries is the capitalistic dream. Collectivism by the people is undesirable because it diminishing power of the affluent. Defeat of unionism was perhaps the first of collectivism practices to be stomped upon.

12. Well...blast it to all the media.
