Whitewash is typical of the reports issued by the Bush administration
on the abuse, humiliation and torture of prisoners at camps run by the
military.

Let's suppose Congress approves President Bush's "personal accounts"
for Social Security. The Social Security system would then become the
largest single investor in U.S. stocks. By 2050 Social Security could
hold 25 percent of all stocks, estimate economists at Goldman Sachs.
This estimate reflects a modest plan for personal accounts; other
proposals would permit bigger stock purchases. Hardly anyone has
thought about the economic consequences of concentrating so much stock
in the Social Security system. My hunch is that it would turn out to be
a huge mistake -- or worse.

Especially when they all try to cash out their stock at the same time.
Could crash the fucking market.

Oh, they've thought about it all right. They know it will inflate
the share prices of traditional investors who know when to get out,
leaving the Social Security investors holding the bag when the
inevitable correction sets in.

taught the rightards absolutely nothing.

It doesn't amaze me at all. First, they don't give a burrito fart
about anyone without the proper 'lineage, and income figures.'
Second, they're simply using the opportunity to rape the system to
further their own ends. Thirdly, they'll shift their investments to
international holdings.

Easy solution: Tell investors to buy Euros instead of playing
the stock market. When the dollar crashes, the value of their
money will increase dramatically. As well, Shrub and his ilk
who stuck with the US dollar will lose in exchange markets.
Everybody would be back on level footing.

And once that happens, of course, they can use it to "prove" that the
whole concept of providing for the elderly is fundamentally flawed, and
eradicate social security programs altogether. After all, only people
making fewer than six figures have to worry about financing their
retirement, and who cares about them?
