Ron Brownstein LIES- says Bush correct the current SS benefits must be cut

[ibid]

As Ron Brownstein notes in his column today http://www.latimes.com/news/columnists/la-na-outlook9may09,0,7083908.column
, Americans do indeed prize guarantees from government on Healthcare and retirement. But sadly Brownstein proves that he has little math training by being flat out wrong when he says "Bush is right that rising costs eventually will force government to scale back its healthcare and retirement promises."

On retirement there is no need to cut back Social Security benefits one single dime (although there are other arguments for ending the wage cap on the payroll tax). I suggest Brownstein read a few of those Paul Krugman's articles on the subject before he again flatly says "Bush is right".

On Healthcare, you would think the media would doubt any projection that when extended says that healthcare costs will be 200% of GDP at some point. When a projection has a silly result such as that 200%, it should tell them that the current insurance company system can not continue and that single payer national health is inevitable.

It may seem curious that the cure to the rising health care costs is not a cut back, but is instead more government guarantees -but that is the way the numbers point.

1. Maybe more people should look at jr bu$h's tax cuts

for his rich friends and all the billions that are unaccounted for that were suppose to go to outfit the troops in this illegal war.
Not only would we have enough money for Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and Education, but we would have enough to re-order our health care system to something that would at least provide basic health care for every man, woman and child in this country, legal or other wise, far into the future.

If anyone is for any New Deal cuts or eliminations, remind them of all the money that is being wasted and otherwise unaccounted for by this administration in it's Star Wars con job, fancy new multi-billion war toys and the billions of dollars in fraud that they are letting Halliburton get away with. And don't forget all the money lost in the rich peoples tax cut.
