We have had two Commissions on SS already--The Use
of Commissions is coward's way out. Commissions will naturally
come up with Privatization of Social Security. When Bob Kerrey
was in Senate--a Commission on Social Security found this the
answer and true to form the Centrist Democrat pushed it all
the way. Under GWB another Commission (different members)
came up with Privatization also.

Let's get honest here Wall Street has been pushing for this
money for the last years. Pushing hard that is.

What is good for Wall Street is not always good for Main Street.

Alan Greenspan, No Liberal. Just this month Greenspan said SS can be fixed
with a few adjustments. It is Medicare which is the more serious
problem.

Any Democratic Candidate who is willing to throw SS to the wolves
totally ignores the impending dangers in our economy. Smart
Economists say we need Social Safety Net Programs now and we
will need them more, as our country moves in a downward spiral
to reach salaries more in keeping with poor countries. Common
Sense tells you. US cannot keep salaries umpteen times those
of other countries. The GOP and Cemtrists have sold out on
Jobs. We need someone who provides a safety net.

Commissions On SS is code to Wall Street, we will look out for
you.
