Bush to Resume War on Social Security


Josh Marshall reports that Bush plans to resume his effort to abolish Social Security - just as soon as the election is over.

The liberal blogger is going to track positions on Bush's War on Social Security. Marshall asks that you find out your Congressperson's position and forward the info to him.

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are .. a few .. Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
