George Carlin was a prophet - esp. after Obama's remarks tonight...
Carlin saw all of this coming a long time ago... It deserves a replay. Give it a spin and weep. And I hoped all of this was over when Bush got his ass handed to him with his SS privatization rubbish; joke's on me, I guess.

George Carlin - American Dream

"And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something, they’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this f*cking place."

2. Aren't "across the board" triggers part of the deal?
If they are, there's your cuts.

3. No truer words. The door to SS has been opened. Just a crack,
but that is the way it works.

7. RIP George. You tried to tell people. Some of us listened.
Sadly, many did not.

This clip on 'coming after your SS' has likely gotten more play since his death than it ever did in his lifetime. Brilliant.

:loveya:
