Tom Blackburn: 'Polly and Anna believe Bush'

[MaineYooper]

They brought out the last Bush with any credibility left, Barbara, and she said, "I'm here because I'm worried about our 17 grandchildren, and so is my husband. They will get no Social Security." Ma Bush stopped six words short of the whole truth, which is: "They will get no Social Security if my son gets his way."

... snip ...

By now Mr. Bush's scheme must be called what it is, a fraud upon the public. He keeps reciting the lies and half-truths he began with. Social Security does need some stitches, but Mr. Bush's personal accounts take the form of major surgery. If the surgery is successful, the patient will die.

Wow- I haven't read any Tom Blackburn before, but he's spot on here. My favorite passage:

Mr. Bush is not discussing options. He is instead throwing a slow-motion tantrum to get his way.

1. Why in the world would all those trust fund twits NEED Social Security?

For God's sake.
