Bush concedes accounts won’t fix Social Security
From USA Today:
President Bush conceded Wednesday that private accounts do not address the projected problems with Social Security, but he defended his approach and said he wanted more input from Congress on overhauling the troubled system.
…
But he said Wednesday he will not be pressed into outlining a more specific plan to deal with the projected shortfall. “I have not laid out a plan yet, intentionally,” he said. “I stood up in front of the Congress and said, ‘Bring your ideas forward.’”
Hahahahahahaha. *wipes away tears* So this great idea of his, that everyone else but Greenspan said was a bad one, he now admits is a bad one. The best part is that he’s setting up Congress to take the fall for not following through on his (lack of a) plan.
“Bring your ideas forward”… he’s asking this of what’s turned into the biggest echo chamber in the world, mostly through his administration’s doing. Frickin’ moron.
