John Snow says private accounts are a necessary, integral part of a "fair, equitable solution." And when asked if he'd be willing to talk about private accounts that are not linked to benefit cuts, he did the ol' soft shoe.

Albert Einstein said compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe? Come da fuk on...

AND HE JUST HAD THE NERVE TO SAY BUSH'S PLAN IS COSTLESS FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF SOCIAL SECURITY!!

Snow also exposed the whole tactic by which Bush has been able to take credit for all the legislation he initially proposed. This Social Security nonsense is about starting a dialog, invite ideas and he's saying "I'll talk to you." But here's the pisser: Sen. Grassley (sp?) said solvency is more important than private accounst and maybe the accounts should be put aside. Snow says Grassley only put that out there to draw out Democratic suggestion (of which he says they're just not getting enough...tough titty, you're not hearing more because the suggestions already made are sufficient).

Now, if all the suggestions are disingenuous, what's the point of even talking to these idiots? Just keep the issue in the public eye and everyone will realize privatization is more important to Bush than your security and lose.
