The Pope supports private accounts?
VP <$NoAd$> Dick Cheney a couple of hours ago wading into the Social Security phase-out debate …
As a nation we recognize, as Pope John Paul II has written, that a fully human civilization shows respect and love for the elderly. And a just society ensures that elderly people can grow old with dignity. For that reason our nation established the Social Security system. And that is why, after 70 years, Social Security remains a fundamental commitment of both our political parties.
We will need that bipartisan commitment in the months ahead — and I believe we will find it. There are strong views on both sides of the aisle, and we should not expect the work to be easy. Yet if we all go forward in good faith, we will uphold a great duty — keeping the promise of Social Security far into the future and giving millions of seniors, today and tomorrow, the dignity, security, and peace of mind they deserve.
Don’t worry, we’ll be going over this one with a fine tooth comb. After all, it’s Cheney, right?
