9 Year Old and Social Security

[erpowers]

The Republican have hired a 9 year old to push the Social Security Privativation. First, what the heck does a 9 year old know about privatizing Social Security. What is this kid going to talk about? This kid cannot possibly know what is going on with Social Security. Second, Why would you hire a 9 year old to talk about Social Security Privativation.

I will point out that this kid is supposed to be a Presidential Historian. I do not think he is a genius or anything like that he is just supposed to know about Presidents. Has anyone saw him on TV? Does he know more than any other 9 year old knows about presidents.

1. reminds me of how Repubs laughed at Carter for suggesting...

that he was having a conversation with Amy, his young daughter, about nuclear proliferation or some such issue. The Repubs guffawed. Talking to a child about such an important issue. Ha! Ha!

2. a 9 year old? Ask him what his mom will do when his dad dies

If he says, "Oh, my mom is rich yuppie scum with a job of her own," then he can be safely ignored, as damned few women earn enough to pay other women to raise and chaffeur their child around while they work high-powered jobs.

Social Security isn't just for old people, it saved the house and family of two of my friends whose fathers died when they were children.

How much money does a man have in his "private account" if he dies at age 32 when he is still paying off his student loans, huh?

Ask the 9 year old about THAT and forget the "presidential historian" crap about George Washington and the cherry tree. If he is old enough to allow himself to be prostituted for evil, he's fair game. Because he wants to cheat other 9 year olds who have been through the worst heart-break of all -- the loss of a parent.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

3. I've seen the kid on the late night shows

He is brilliant when it comes to presidential facts. He claims to be a Republican. I still think it's appalling to use him to push the SS agenda.

4. Ahhh, the perfect cover ...

People who support it can say "See, it's so easy, even a nine year old can understand this" and if you say anything against him, "You're picking on a nine year old!".

The pricks.

6. I thought I saw him on Leno last week

I was about to fall asleep and my girlfriend was watching Leno and I remember this young kid that knew a lot of things about presidents. I just remember him saying that Bush will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents like Jefferson. He may know a lot of facts but he is to young to understand reality. I think he was on Leno last week.
