Rick Perry calls Social Security "Ponzi scheme"
He's busy out promoting himself and his new book. After all, he works only seven hours a week for the good people of Texas. The rest of the time, he's promoting Rick.

You better hope we defeat Governor Goodhair or you'll likely be seeing a lot more of him come 2012.:puke:

5. I have a good feeling- the Gov is toast!
He truly is an idiot. Didn't he turn down money for road repairs? That's just one thing. Texas deserves much better! Too bad Ann Richards is gone.:cry:

6. Methinks he should find out what a Ponzi Scheme actually is.
A social safety net ain't it.

12. So has Ron Johnson, Russ Feingold's opponent.
I shudder to think of him as my senator for 6 years. I guess Social Security is not the third rail of politics that it once was.

14. To be a "Ponzi scheme" there has to be fraud.
To be fraud it has to be - well, fraudulent. Now, Gov Goodhair may not like the idea of allowing seniors an option to starving alone in the street, but SS is anything but fraudulent.
