Consistency, ConSMISHtency

A quick little math while in the shower today produced this startling insight: If the economic growth projections made by the Bush administration with its "let's make those tax cuts permanent" pitch are actually met, guess what? The Social Security trust fund will run out of money ... NEVER!

CUT TO: Right hand yelling something, left hand not hearing it

But why should the scare tactics used to promote one proposal have to synch up with the fantastical promises of another proposal? It's the second term, baybeeeeee!

BTW, I gotta admit that the chalkboard I hung in the shower last month has paid for itself many times over in shower-based public policy insights.
