GET THIS STRAIGHT: THEY KNOW, AND THEY DON'T CARE, THAT IT WON'T WORK


Oh this is GOO-O-O-DDD. Seem that at the same time BushCo is trying to sell our citizens on a British-like privatization plan to "reform and save" our Social Security program, the Brits are deliberating replacing their catastrophe of a "reform" pension system initiated by Lady Thatcher in her first term, with something more similar to THAT OF THE U.S. SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM.

Let's understand this and understand it now: Bush etc. don't care if the system works. They're only interested in deferring some of that nice green money to their cronies and supporters in the financial services industry and destroying a safety net that has kept millions of "low-rent" elderly Americans alive and afloat. Dagnabbit! If they can't save (because they're in too low an income bracket), can't they at least keep working till they die?

Maybe the standards for military recruitment could be relaxed and let the "low rent" seniors serve in the military. New MOS: torture supervisor or scrapnel magnets. Who knows what Gonzales can come up with.
