UNKNOWN SKEPTIC: Great idea! Yeah, right. He wants to turn a secure investment
into a high risk investment. Sounds like it fits in with everything else he's trying to destroy. He says he wants to cut in half the deficit that he created by the end of the decade while he wants to increase defense spending by billions at the same time. Someone should get that guy a calculator. |

CANDY: Oh my god, what a wonderful plan. He's the first President to give American citizens credit for having the ability to make our own decisions. I don't worry about the stock market. I trust my broker because he's a Republican. |

COOL LEE: I don't worry about Social Security anyway. For me, it's just money taken out of my check that I never see anyway. I don't ever expect to see that money - ever. And I'm okay with that because I don't worry about the future. I prefer to stay young and live for the present - which for me, mostly involves watching old episodes of
"Happy Days." |

DJ YOYO JO-Z: I don't need Social Security cuz I ain't even in dat game. All my money zundada table. No one takes a cut o' my cash, you know what I'm sayin'? |

MR. BIG BIZ: The President's plan, as usual, is brilliant. In his eloquent State of the Union speech he boldly set forth a new direction for Social Security. After all, we have to do something, since Social Security will go bankrupt if we don't. So let's put all the ideas on the table and pretty much go with the best idea, which is to privatize Social Security. We need to stay on topic with the times, which means let's keep investing in the war on terror because that is the story of the decade. Since none of us as individuals can stop the war let's just learn to profit from it. |

SKULL MADISON: Socialist Security? Who needs it? That was an FDR thing anyway. Geez, how old is that? It was just another one of his outdated socialistic failures that nobody gives a hoot about nowadays. Boring topic. I say drain the budget, run up deficits, do whatever you gotta do to make the enemy think you're weak. Then as the economy falters - create a new nation of two classes: 1) an elite ruling class and 2) everyone else which means being a low paid nobody who takes orders from the New World Order. Ha ha ha ha ha. Mmm, ba ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Hoo hoo, ha ha ha ha, ha ha... |

WORKER JOE: Man I get tired of hearing about Social Security being taken out of my check. Why can't they just leave it in? I don't even know what it's for anyway. |

COLLEGE STUDENT: Bush made so many misstatements in his State of the Union address. That's why half of Congress was heckling him in the middle of his big lie that Social Security will go bankrupt by 2042 or whatever year he threw out there. He then paints a false scenario of choices that we either have to raise taxes, do massive borrowing or start cutting programs if we don't privatize Social Security. Another words, turn your life savings over to Bush's friends. |

GOOFBALL GREG: Man I don't get the Democrats. Bush throws them a bone after he blows out Kerry in a landslide, just cuz he's a nice guy. Yet all the Democrats do is complain. Don't they appreciate that Bush even brought up the topic of Social Security? Man, that's not a Republican topic. We should just get rid of Social Security all together since it serves no purpose except to take out money from our paychecks for no reason. Hey man, I came from a rich Republican family, so you can't expect me to sympathize with freeloaders. |

GORE SUPPORTER: We would not be in this mess today if all the votes had been counted back in 2000. Gore would still be President today because he would have been re-elected and he would have put a lock box on Social Security. That would have been his biggest contribution to history besides inventing the internet. I just hope people haven't forgotten about him by 2008. Presidential election losers tend to be forgotten quickly - Dukakis, Dole, Kerry. |

CHUMPY SMITH: Man, what's this crap about now? They're trying to squeeze us out of every last dime we got so that they can pay for their war profit machine. First it was the war on drugs, now it's the war on terror. They just want to build this big machine that keeps eating our money and keeps getting bigger and scarier until none of us even control our own destiny - we're just victims of some diabolical government science fiction project that scares us into surrendering our rights and privileges as American citizens. Good thing I dropped out a long time ago. |
