Delivering the democrats'weekly radio address today, Congressman Kendrick Meek (D-FL) says 'Our young workers have the most to lose in the debate over Social Security.' When just the opposite is the case. As in any long term savings program, the longer you are in it the more you will have accumulated. A 50 yr old wouldn't do near as good compared to an 18 yr old entering the work force upon retirement.
Then there's this gem, 'Even if you don't open a private account, you will still see a significant benefit cut,' Meek said. Well Duh! Even if you don't? That should be especially if you don't Mr. Meek.
I'd rather lose an issue with dignity than to go down lying about it. For this party, honesty and integrity fall lower on the list than getting their power back.
Democrat Urges Young to Oppose Bush Plan (AP). AP - Rep. Kendrick Meek, D-Fla., appealed to young taxpayers Saturday to oppose President Bush's plan to partially privatize Social Security, saying they had to the most to lose from the change. [Yahoo! News: Politics News]
