"They wanted to privatize Social Security with Wall Street companies

[AlinPA]

like Lehman Brothers; and we said Thanks, but No Thanks". (Sounds like a good ad idea)

1. Very good indeed. Bush and McCain wanted it, we (Democrats) said thanks but no thanks. nt

[flakey_foont]

2. yeah,

that brilliant idea didn't quite catch on with the American people, did it?

[nickyt]

3. Yer a feckin' genius, Al!!

though actually, it's "Thenks, but no thenks", eh?
(I only know cuz I've heard her repeat it one million times!!!)

4. Did McCain ever say that on video? There is a good chance that he has

made that very statement in a speech somewhere sometime. Does anyone know how to find these things? I have no clue.

[AlinPA]

5. Not that I know of. It's a good idea for an ad though.

[retread]

7. Of course he has!! Is there video?? Of course there is!!

6. we would have lost at least 20% of our Social Security money

if it had been privatized by the loyal "Bushies" in Congress with the recent losses.

8. Palin still says it.

9. Well, that could have saved wall street, but at what expense.

[DCKit]

10. It would have covered their losses - for a while.

But what's the point of giving them another couple hundred billion to loot? Their greed is infinite and they can't be sated.

11. This should be on the front of every paper tomorrow!

12. An excellent idea! nt
