31. the ONLY winners will be the stockbrokers
my son, then a junior in hi school, saw this clearly when the right first started talking up 'redoing social security'

they started this when the stock market was really booming....then there was bloody Monday....and people started asking themselves 'what if I do this and the market goes down? where's my retirement money?'

and some people wondered 'what do we do with all the old people who've lost their money in the market? do we let them starve or try to save them....at what cost to the federal government?'

some things are just too clear/obvious for 'compassionate conservatives', I guess
