Bush: Sticking to the Message, 27 Years Later

Speaking to the Midland Country Club in Texas on the issue of privatizing Social Security, the New York Times reports that Mr. Bush had this to say:

"Social Security will be bust in 10 years unless there are some changes," he said, according to an account published the next day in The Midland Reporter-Telegram.

That was in 1978.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You can't trust this man when it comes to numbers and economic analysis. He was wrong then, and he's wrong now.
