Bush proposes conscription of elderly to fix Social Security

DateSunday, December 12, 2004 at 07:17PM

If you haven't been following, there is a rather strong and shrill voice out there asking for someone to please, PLEASE! fix the social security problem that threatens the catfood-free dietary habits of our elderly. The Bush administration has heeded that call and is now experimenting with various hairbrained ideas. I've been following the most realpolitik of these prospective solutions(see here and here and here) . Instead of a draft, this phenomenon will, from now on, be referred to here as Social Security Reform (SSR).

The most recent example of SSR is Dr. John Caulfield. Read. He's 70 and he's in Afghanistan.
