BUSH BEAT

Kerry scaring seniors

Sen. John Kerry campaigning in Florida told seniors that the doomed Social Security system can be solved with the same scheme that is taking it towards disaster. Kerry proposed in his speech to seniors that President Bush’s plan for private accounts would destroy Social Security.

The Social Security system was set up under a plan where large number of individuals who worked covered the few that were retired. The system originally covered those who retired at 65-years-old, which was above the average age of life expectancy.

Now, fewer people who work pay for those who are retired and with the advent of the "baby boomers’ retirement the ratio of those working to those retired will become an unsustainable burden.

Kerry released the following statement:

Citing a new study that finds George W. Bush’s Social Security privatization plan will provide a $940 billion windfall to the financial industry while cutting benefits for seniors, Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said the president has wrongly chosen to put his well connected friends above seniors and families.

Saying we cannot afford four more years of Bush’s wrong plans that squeeze seniors, Kerry pledged to move America in a new direction as president with a plan that protects and strengthens Social Security.

"Recently, at that convention in New York, George Bush said that he actually had a new idea. And you know what it was? The same bad, old idea of privatizing Social Security and cutting your benefits," Kerry said. "That’s not a plan – it’s a rip-off. George Bush’s scheme hurts seniors by cutting benefits, and it hurts our economy by increasing the deficit. The truth is, the only people who benefit from George Bush’s Social Security scheme are the special interests."

Kerry says that he will strengthen Social Security but he doesn’t have anything in his "Plan for America" to deal with it.

U.N. cover-up

The Washington Times reports that the U.N. is manipulating the investigation into the $10 billion in kickbacks to Saddam Hussein’s reign of torture and terror that agency oversaw and had to participate in.

Not only is the U.N. a failure in preventing the genocide in Sudan, but they appear to be unable to get to the bottom of one of the biggest bribe deals in history. Congressman Joe L. Barton, Texas Republican who chairs the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, is making noise that he may open his own investigation.

"My mandate comes from the people of the United States of America, and quite frankly, I will take the United States of America over the United Nations any day," Barton said.

Heritage Foundation researchers Nile Gardiner and James Phillips, in a new analysis released this week, said the Volcker panel "bears all the hallmarks of a toothless paper tiger" and is "clearly open to U.N. manipulation."
