Reply #17: DOW rallies as * tours the U.S. to push private Social Security accts. [View All]

How convenient! I betcha the stocks will keep rallying up wards during the entire tour to make investing look good! There is money to be made and lets have the big show on television 24/7 so no one will not know! PRIVATIZE some will say! How many will drink the Kool-Aid on this one? HOW MANY?

In fact, I'd be willing to bet on in! :grr:

After the show is over, hopefully we'll be *reminded* that the DOW was below 9,000 less than 3 years ago. People lost their entire retirement savings! And we cannot forget ENRON either. 1929: Maybe we weren't alive to remember it (well there may be a few) but it must never be forgotten! Because of the crash of '29 came with it the Great Depression; hence a Nation in distress that demanded reform - thus the creation of Social Security.

We need to strengthen social security benefits for OUR PEOPLE OF THE USA, not steal it from present recipients nor the generations that follow. We need to make social security better if anything, and that is for EVERYONE!

Unfortunately, it seems that some American people have very SHORT memories! I hope they do not forget the lessons that history has taught us if we are indeed still being "taught"! :grr:
