Best quote about Social Security "crisis" Evah!

[helderheid]

Last night Pete Ashdown of Utah who is running against Hatch in 2006 in his weekly online chat was asked what he thought about the Social Security "crisis" - I LOVED his answer - please use it!

"I think its like we're driving in a car with the administration and we're going to run out of gas in 40 miles so they want to replace the engine."

6. Not just replace the engine, but buy the replacement from...

their Wall Street crony, who happens to charge quadruple the standard retail price. "Step right up."

Same pattern as with the Medicare Prescription Druglord Benefit.

BushCo: turning social services for the abjectly poor into profit centers for the obscenely wealthy.

8. Yes - the price of the engine is an important point too!

9. Or, better still

We're driving in a car with the administration and we're going to run out of gas in 40 miles so they hijack our car, kick us to the curb, make us buy a new one, all the while telling is it's a much better plan.
