swap cola for productivity

here's greenspan-rove's
latest 
       bester bestest 
  poison dope deal  :


   preserve 
        "real SSI benefits"
by swapin in 
the present "iffy "
          wage based 
                       conversion formula
                      for a 
                     rock solid 
                        cost of living index 

====================================================

 yup 
and  sell it 
        AS part of the win win package

sell it as 
a way safer 
             better play
then standin pat
----------------------------------------------

 letz  dump 
    the tired old formula 
                         we  got now 

why?

cause its a pig in a poke

whereas the cost of living index deal
 provides a cast iron 
              inflation protection
                                  guarantee 

=================================================
 

watch closely....

right  now 
      all one getz
 is an unknown benefit
          churned out 
by a "conversion formula"
       

sure its    based on 
       current    average wages

  but  
what a rook

  that could get to be

imagine 
       if wages 
         start to 
      fall behind prices 
what with out -sourcing 
           and
other such  "coolie competition"............

see the gaping uncertainties here
cow boy ?

------------------------------------

then there's 
the drab unspun 
truth ........


 as one pundit puts it : 

"just imagine gang 
if we had 
a pure cost index 
set up  from day one
why 
today we'd have 
 a benefit package based on
                real wages  
                        back in 1935 
                            not 2004  " 

-------------------------------------------------------
okay so reality
gives you  doubts

you figure there can't be 
 enough  dumb dumbs
 to pull thiz  off

no way  can  
"them"
actually  
   "get home  intact
            against  such straight forward
                      arithmatic "

only elephants drunk 
on klass  rape 
 would even  try 
to put
 this plus perfect 
                 hog wash
over
on   the  hard 
           working american masses

 "them " not only 
  will 
          try

                            long stocking"  
                               equity
                                       retirement  account 

       but also

               "plus "that

a ready to rise
stock rocket

annnnd  

 a stone solid 
    base line benefit 
 worth 
   not one  penny
                  less
          then the benefit
                pops iz gettin  today
                         and 
                      thats 
                      no matter when you retire  " 

---------------------------------------------------
yup
i'd say
that
 rover- grover 
         type 
                     " big fudge"
 just 
might do the trick 


------------------------------
but its 
no  matter anyway 


cause whatever
dick pull 
"them" elephant  kongressionals 
finally  come up with 

long as 
the fucker 
looks
         " pro-active"


  shit   
 plain  folks will swallow  
                 the turd 
                       of it   whole 

        
come on here

 long as 
  it ain't happened yet
    my  numbers 
are as good as yours

 thanx to 
    the fucking

front line press 
 
with its "crisis -crisis brewin"
           bombardment

        pre- convinced ?


after all

" somethin must be done "

 ---------------------------


nope
     the elephant  kongress
           can't lose 

less they 
          sit on their hands

    cause  
   most  geeps under 40 
    by now
           figure if we stick with " as iz"
   come retirement day
     they 
   ain't  gettin 
  nothin but "dry holes"
                    

  so  shit

  a time of media induced 
                        hopelessness
            
        ya might as well
       promise 
        
          miracles
             
          faith healing 
               exorcism
                   resurrection...
