Uh, Bush tried to privatize social security... Did you miss that?
No, Bush tried to allow people the choice (I know you leftists hate that word) to invest a very tiny percentage of THEIR SS contributions into a personal IRA account. GW realized that at some point, SS will run out of money because it was a Ponzi scheme right from the beginning.
You yourself expressed concern whether SS will be there when you retire. It should be privatized, and what GW did was try to get the ball rolling before we have a national disaster on our hands. When people see their money actually grow, they would demand a higher and higher percentage as years progress. Brilliant strategy, until the Democrats stopped it. They don't want the people realizing we don't need so much government in our lives.
My schools are fine... but I live in a nice suburb because I'm not a loser like you. But, um, yeah. There's a reason why white people freaked the fuck out when they wanted to swap out some of their kids for black kids in the schools.
People didn't want their kids going across town ten miles to attend a school. Back then, a lot of women didn't drive. The ones who did belonged to a single car family. If the mother had to tend to a sick child or in an emergency at the school, they didn't want to have to catch several busses to get there.
On the other hand, when those white racists in the Republican party allowed school vouchers, those union supported Democrats sued to try and get it stopped. The hell with the black families that finally had a chance to send their kids to a school of their choice, unions were more important to the Democrats.
Here's the actual study. (Again, this is my business)
You mean the same business where you told me that machines actually sort through resumes, and pick out the best ones for HR to look at? Maybe we have racist machines now????
