Bush's SocSec newspeak

When the President starts mouthing off about Social Security (beginning with his State of the Union speech tomorrow and continuing through several costly campaign stops in the coming days), keep these in mind:

• There is no Social Security budget crisis.
• Bush's speeches and "bamboozlepalooza tour" all amount to changing the vocabulary, not changing the actual actions he's proposing.
• Over the next half-century, you can either believe S.S. will run out of money, or you can believe the economy will be strong enough to produce better gains in stock funds than in S.S. You can't do both.
• If somebody disputes any of this, you can honestly select from several responses: disdain, ridicule, weary dismissal, and even digust.
