Rick Santorum on CNN now says SS crisis costs billions Ahem.

[EVDebs]

"By some estimates, privatization could add up to $2 trillion to the deficit over 10 years"

Methinks that Santorum, like Bush doesn't read the papers. The quote above came from USA Today. They don't understand economics either since they can't see saving the program with Bush will actually KILL IT !

1. That quote sounds like he's defending the Democratic position. (nt)

[liveoaktx]

2. And what has the Iraq War cost us so far?

[Beaverhausen]

3. Reid said the same thing in his speech last night- and called it immoral

I'm not getting your point.

[bluedog]

4. 2 Trillion...............okay lets use that $$

and put 1 Trillion into the system (SS) and 1 Trillion for universal Healthcare for the American people......this would be a much better idea and would benefit everyone...

[BayCityProgressive]

5. LOL I wish

the Democrats would say that

[EVDebs]

6. ding ding ding ding ! bluedog gets it ! You others need to read

Santorum was saying 'billions' would be lost because of the SS 'crisis'. For Christ's sake ... Shrub's own project requires $2 trillion to be shifted out of the current SS program just to fund his idiotic plan !

What it all boils down to is Bush's plan requires a 40% cut in benefits ! Repeat after me: That dog don't hunt !

[bluedog]

8. others won't hear this

because the main stream talking bobble heads are pushing his plan and try to prop it up........unless we can get our Democratic senators on these shows ...and the BIG IF..........they know what the HELL they are talking about the normal listeners will be in the dark.

7. Gee, thanks Rick...

It's sure swell of the Senator to deliver our talking points for us...
