PHOTOS: bush* on Social Security in North Carolina today...GAG..









U.S. President George W. Bush reacts alongside Dawn Baldwin (C) and Andrew Biggs (R), both participants in a town hall-style meeting on strengthening Social Security , in Raleigh, North Carolina, February 10, 2005. North Korea declared on Thursday for the first time it possessed nuclear weapons and pulled out indefinitely from six-party talks on its atomic ambitions, saying it needed a defense against a hostile United States.

9. Well it's kind of like when you cut of a guys arm
Sometimes the arm he has left will become much stronger because it has to do more. Same principle, I guess.

Bush Arrives to Pitch Social Security Reform to N.C.
By The Associated Press
(02/10/05 - RALEIGH) — Social Security reform proposed by President Bush drew opponents who derided the plan as a "wild investment scheme" as they awaited his visit to North Carolina on Thursday.

Heh. You know you're going down when the news coverage opens with the protestors' line.

the chimp is sinking....




AARP, the nation's largest advocacy group for older Americans, is lobbying against Bush's plan to allow younger workers to invest up to 4 percent of their wages in private accounts. They worry that will reduce the pool of money available to retirees drawing from the program during the next 10 years, said Bob Jackson, state director of AARP in North Carolina.

"Private accounts are a gamble we should not and don't have to take," Jackson said.
