ABRENUNTIO!:

Greenspan urges cuts in Social Security (MARTIN CRUTSINGER, February 25, 2004, AP)

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, stepping into the politically charged debate over Social Security, said Wednesday the country can't afford the benefits currently promised to the baby boom generation.

Typically, when Mr. Greenspan speaks, one party or the other, or both, and editorial boards from Augusta to Guam greet his words as if they were pronouncements handed down from Mt. Sinai. These'll be met as if they were satanic ravings.

This is not a surprise to anyone, everyone knows this to be true. It is politically unfixable, so the politicians just keep their mouths shut.

One of the congress creatures questioning yoda asked ,should we have kept taxes on the richest one per cent of Americans so we don't have to cut benefits. Its going to be a long campaign.
