Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan issued a fresh call to Congress Tuesday to move promptly to put Social Security on firm financial footing, warning that doing nothing would lead to massive budget deficits and cause the “economy to stagnate or worse.”
Greenspan, in remarks to the Senate Special Committee on Aging, said the looming retirement of 78 million baby boomers will put a huge strain on the Depression-era retirement program and aggravate the country’s already bloated budget deficits.
“Unless the trend is reversed, at some point these deficits would cause the economy to stagnate or worse,” Greenspan said.
The Fed chief again endorsed a key part of President Bush’s Social Security overhaul – to create private investment accounts – and said officials must proceed slowly in setting them up. But Greenspan also said that Congress needes to do other things to fix the retirement program’s financing problems.
In a related story, has anybody been able to dig up any Alan Greenspan COCK daguerreotypes yet? Because let’s face it: this guy just has it coming…
Well he is a member of the FOMC.
Heh. “Brown” as in sepia toned photos.
Well … you’re #1 on Google for “cock”+”alan greenspan”
Heh! Keyword “size”
I
dug one up
it is all in the search terms…
anti-spam: name… I meant it is all in the name…
shoot…
FARK fans have done some fabulous stuff in the contests. The Greenspan entries weren’t productive.
Greenspan does have it coming to him … because of the HYPOCRISY!
Clearly, the only course of action is to start reducing the number of baby boomers.
I suggest deportation.
Soylent Green is boomers!
Turing word: followed
As in: I followed the link even though I know Jeff has a teenage male’s sense of humor. (So do I)
They’ve had while to dig: what have they come up with? Anybody? Anybody?
I only found some lousy Alan Greenspandex.
Spandex only helps to support his position.
Looks like we’re gonna have to “hose” you two down.
Cmon, how’s about a little “support” here? Ok, the voices have stopped now.
Alan Greenspan cock… FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
“Spandex only helps to support his position.”
Is that what you call it at your house, Diana?
– And just how did Gails baby bloomers get into this discussion…you people all have dirty minds…(keep up the good work)
turing: “young” (at some point prudence would dictate it ain’t random anymore)
BBH, Where have you been? Nobody has alluded to my underwear in days!
Big Bang–It’s never been random. That’s not the issue. I’m just wondering if it’s hooked up to a thesaurus or if Jeff has someone chained to his computer day and night to come up with the word.
Or, you know. It could just be…random.
word: indeed. (like a Jeeves kind of “indeed” when he says “Indeed, sir?” and he really means “You’re a nitwit Bertram Wooster.”)
I think I may have discovered something about old Al. Something about being involved in stock(ing)s and bond(age).
– Gail …. I’ve been busy with a blog charity trying to raise enough to buy McGehee the famouse Goodyear Dildo Blimp for his birthday…
(not sure what we’ll do about the 29,346,512 “D” cell batteries it takes. Maybe we can just plug him into Metropolitan Light & Electric.)
– Oh and check the other threads. I managed not to mention your underwear a scandulous number of times for a change. Which for Moi’ is a giant step forward, judging fron the condition of my tennis racket…..
word up: “true”
Sorry, BBH, still not big enough.
