The Supreme Court gave us Bush in 2000, which is bad, but they saved us from the Vice Presidency of Joe Lieberman.
Just trying to start the week with some humor, after suffering from headache and nausea all day yesterday from Lieberman's shameful utterances on MTP.
During his interview on Fox, Wisconsin congressman and so-called "rising star" Paul Ryan promoted his Web site, americanroadmap.org. Here is an excerpt from the Social Security Reform section of that site:
"This proposal addresses the shortcomings of the current system and strengthens the retirement safety net by providing workers with the voluntary option of investing a portion of their FICA payroll taxes into personal savings accounts. Due to the higher rate of return received by investments in secure funds consisting of equities and bonds, these accounts would allow workers to build a significant nest egg for retirement that far exceeds what the current program can provide. Each account will be the property of the individual, and fully inheritable, which will allow workers to pass on their prosperity to their descendants."
Ouch. Paul Ryan - just another GOP hack.
