Young People and Social Security: The Key To Republican Single-Party Rule |
by Thom Hartmann
(No verified email address) |
Current rating: 0
22 Mar 2005
|
Divide and conquer has been the slogan of the Bush dynasty ever since Poppy first used television advertising to mentally merge Michael Dukakis with a black killer, pitting whites against blacks in America. It worked then, and Republicans are betting that pitting young people against the elderly will work just as magically now.
If they succeed - and they're already halfway there - single-party corporate/Republican rule could be a reality for the next generation and (especially if they maintain control of electronic voting machines) generations beyond. This outcome will foul our environment, further decimate our remaining middle class, and lead us into a brave new world of perpetual oil and religious wars, maintained by a brutal and intrusive corporate/police state. |

In the meantime, the department of irony will keep molding its own version of reality until it is sufficiently warped to fit its own agenda. US troop withdrawal, said Bush last week, "would be done depending upon the ability of Iraqis to defend themselves". They are already defending themselves Mr Bush - from you. |

One's own violence is repressed from consciousness as legitimate counter-force against unjust power since aggression is only seen in the powerful enemy.. Denial, re-pression and concealment of aggression through justification brutalizes. |

How to Have Clean and Complete Voter Rolls |

Pointing fingers and name-calling won't help fix the problem. The way forward is to set a goal of 100 percent voter registration by establishing registration as a mutual responsibility of citizens and their government. It's the best way to bring together conservatives concerned about fraud in elections and liberals concerned about low voter registration. We need a coherent system that ensures all of us can vote, but none of us can vote more than once. |

Let's Be Honest About Social Security |

Even looking into the science-fiction future of the Social Security Trustees' 75-year planning period, the projected shortfall is less than what we fixed in each one of the decades of the '50s, '60s, and '80s. In other words, according to the president's own numbers, Social Security is financially stronger today than it has been throughout most of its history. If we use the projections of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, it's even better: Social Security is rock-solid for nearly half a century.
So this attack on Social Security has nothing to with the solvency of the program. |
