I agree with Bush

Bush's latest tack in trying to pimp his Social Security trainwreck is to claim that Congress gets private retirement accounts, and what Congress thinks is good for THEM should be good for US, too.

Well, for once, I agree with Georgie Porgie.

Congress DOES have private retirement accounts - IN ADDITION TO, not instead of, Social Security.

Congress also gets publicly funded pensions.

Congress also gets publicly funded health care.

So I say, let's take George at his word. Give the American People the same deal that Congress gets: Social Security, a private retirement account, publicly funded pensions and publicly funded health care.

After all, as Georgie says, if it's good enough for Congress, it's good enough for us.
