Media ridiculed Gore over "lockbox" - but it was Bush in Jan 00 that first

used the term.

Bush was first - in January of 2000 - not Al Gore - to use the lockbox term - of course Bush did not get ridiculed by the liberal media for using it - but Gore should had a problem over the term in our main stream media. But Howie says Bush was treated "roughly" this time around compared to 00. Yeah right.



"We're in a tax debate here in this state and around the country. And let me explain my position as clearly as I can. First, unspent surpluses in Washington, D.C. will be spent, you mark my words, you leave money sitting around the table in Washington, Washington politicians will spend it. Now, I believe there's enough money. If you lockbox the payroll taxes, there is $2 trillion to make sure the Social Security system is safe and secure-- $2 trillion.

I intend to lockbox the payroll taxes and spend them only on what they're supposed to be spent on, and that's Social Security. And by the way... (Applause)"

...and the media would look the other way.

but the media didn't look the other way; rather, it commended him for doing so.

And then ask what has happened to the 2 trillion dollars was in the Trust Fund in 2001?
