They were going to "privatize" Social Security and invest it in the stock market.

That would have meant that today that they would have about halved the value of what
is in the Social Security fund today, if not worse. Maybe they would have invested
it with Bernie Madoff, too? Basically, they would have bankrtupted a fund that is
already on shaky ground, if you look a generation or two forward.

The "me" generation would have become the "fuck you" generation. Well, they kinda
did that already, but the effect would have been twice as dramatic.

4. It was obvious that * felt bad that he couldn't catapult the propaganda hard enough to convince us.
He really was trying hard to funnel all our hard-earned SS contributions to the insatiable parasites on Wall Street.

You can fool all the people some of the time, but it just so happened, that wasn't the time.
