Good read......
Returning to Bush, trust that he will probably push a proposal from his Social Security commission that will result in big cuts in workers' Social Security benefits. Though the cuts would be phased in over time, bottom line, an average worker of 20 today, would see his total Social Security benefits cut by close to $160,000 by retirement. They would have in return the big bogus stock option. That is the option to try to recoup a small portion of these cuts by looking for higher returns in the stock market, with all its ups and downs, Wall Street as Las Vegas. Roll 'em mama, papa needs new dentures. Pardon me, I don't mean to be flip. It just makes me laugh 'til I cry.
