Bush's Empty Drawers--A Mystery Solved

On April 5, 2005, Mr. W went on down to Parkersburg, WV to do some investigatin'. He'd heard some bad things about that dang ole Social Security Trust Fund and he was determined to get the skinny on that deal.

After some hard investigatin' work, he tol' us all about what he found. He said,

“There is no "trust fund," just IOUs that I saw firsthand, that future generations will pay -- will pay for either in higher taxes, or reduced benefits, or cuts to other critical government programs.

The office here in Parkersburg stores those IOUs. They're stacked in a filing cabinet. Imagine -- the retirement security for future generations is sitting in a filing cabinet. It's time to strengthen and modernize Social Security for future generations with growing assets that you can control, that you call your own -- assets that the government cannot take away. (Applause.)"

We wuz all happy to know he tol' us the truth--Don't trust the gubment! We never had no U. S. Savings Bonds (mostly 'cause Papa's pension was spent up by the coal company) but we never did have faith that the gubment would pay its obligations. Now, its for sure, Mr. W tol' us and just in the nick o' time!

We don't have to pay no attention to that Soopreme Court nuther 'cause we is supposed to do what they say 'cause they say it. Mr. Delay, Mr. W's friend, tells us that the Fedr'l courts is all corrupted. Whoo-wee, it's all good news.

Mr. W came down and took a look an done shown us the truth--here's a picture of him with the proof--his empty drawers. Now you tell me there is a Social Security Fund! I don't think so.
