Can someone tell me why it is that the Democrats who spent the 1990s moaning about the sad state of social security and hoping against hope that someone would come along and do something to fix it, now say nothing is wrong with it and that it doesn't need any re-rigging? All is well, apparently, despite those decade-old predictions of insolvency by the end of the 21st century, which the current administration holds to, as well. How did things that were so bad get so good all of a sudden?
Clinton proposed a similar plan, to the rousing cheerleading of the Dems during his term, but it didn't pass....now Bush wants to do it his way and it's a bad idea. Why?
This whole thing reminds me of how the Democrats spent the 90s crying about Iraq's WMD programs and how something had to be done before it was too late. They got what they wanted, and then turned on the one who did it when things didn't turn out as planned.
Fair weather friends if ever there were any, doesn't it seem?
Why does partisanship always seem to have to take precedence over what's right (or wrong) for the country (and I lay that query on both sides of the fence)?
