Reply #9: I think Greenspans discussion of Social Security came at an interesting

[BR_Parkway]

time. Just after Rove & Co launched their premier wedge issue to drive the voters to them "gay marriage". Yeah, it's getting hype, but no where near what it would be if every working or retired American on either side of the political fence wasn't wondering what that statement about Social Security being in crisis is going to mean to them. I think he drew alot more attention away than Bush-Co wanted and it's only just beginning. Once the rumor mill picks up, there are people likely to panic over that one - especially the 50+ crowd who was already devastated in the past few years with the 401k's down so far. Billy Bob might hate me for being queer, but his retirement and his mama's Social Security check are a whole lot more personal and something for him to worry about.

Rove wanted
SS crisis = same sex marriage
instead he gets
SS crisis = social security is going broke, because of the Bush deficits.
