Michael Kinsley on Bush's Social Security proposal

[gottaB]

It's like you're in the desert and need water. Bush walks up to you and says, "How would you like lemonade instead?"

You say, "Sure."

So Bush hands you a packet of dry lemonade and says "Here, just add water."

(Just heard on the Al Franken show)
