2. He did mention but w/zero specifics or plan-just reform & private accounts

he is trying to say it was part of campaign - while forgetting the only major ads did not deal with this and indeed the only plan on the table is the under 3% diversion to private accounts. But he did say it was time to change to a wealth creation system - and never said he would retain any part of SS for future retirees after this "40 year transition".
And indeed his major comments were about how he was not going change the system for today's over 55 crowd.
And he made a beautiful comment about how the 2 to 4 trillion dollars for transition would not affect the deficit because it would be off budget (now being repeated for media by his aids - and not by him - indeed I suspect the media that recorded this campaign so well will be unable to find any Bush statement - directly made by Bush - that will be the basis for a Bush said story.
LOL - as our piss poor media today repeated the "no affect on budget because Bush will do this off budget" line - followed by complicated sentances and words to indicate that it was perhaps still a problem. These US Media folk would not say Bush was a liar if Jesus appeared and said that Bush was a liar - and asked them to join him in stating that fact.
Thet would write up the story about how important folks in the GOP say Jesus was wrong about this secular topic!
