Anotehr GOP message" Katrina makes Social Security Reform necessary"
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 09:38 AM by Armstead
From the MoJo Blog:

http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2005/09/every_crisis_an.html

Every Crisis an Opportunity
It's an old business myth that the Chinese character for "crisis" combines the characters for "danger" and "opportunity." It doesn't. But I'm not sure anyone's told the Bush administration, judging from this little tidbit in CongressDaily today: "White House spokesman Trent Duffy asserted that the vast spending that would be required to address the hurricane's impact adds to the need to change Social Security, which threatens to strain the budget in coming years." Ah yes, despite the fact that privatization that would add trillions to the deficit in the short term, at a time when Katrina will already add $100 billion or more to the deficit this year, the time for privatization is now, obviously, in the wake of disaster. Um, no.

5. Well, don't that beat all...
...using Katrina as the nucleus of a snowball effect to somehow help run this country into the ground even faster than they are already doing it.

6. This administration has committed genocide.
It's time to arrest them and put them on trial.
