Red Means Stop

Since the President has finally graced us with his explanation for why Social Security privatization is awesome, I’ve made this helpful graphic for Bush supporters to place on their websites :

“There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those — if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.”




Yeah, his plan will add 4.5 trillion dollars to the deficit, but on the other hand it will help solve the red. You can’t argue with logic like that.

  2. Well, the payoff is 35-to-one. On the other hand, Wesley Snipes’s advice was “Always bet on black.” Whose investment advice should I take?

    WHAT? You mean he wasn’t talking about roulette?
