Bush vows to phase out Social Security

Bush is planning to phase out Social Security next year, after his party steals the November elections:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush hopes to revive his plan to overhaul the U.S. Social Security retirement program if his Republican party keeps control of the Congress in the November midterm elections, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.

Despite polls suggesting Democrats have their best chance in years to regain control of the House of Representatives, Bush told the newspaper in an interview he was confident a power shift was "not going to happen."

"I just don't believe it," he said, adding that if Republicans prevail at the polls, next year might be a good time to reintroduce the effort to reshape Social Security because he could "drain the politics out of the issue."

You can bet he will too. And, of course, he knows that a Democratic takeover is "not going to happen" because he's got all the voting machinery (physical and human) rigged. Too few machines in Democratic districts, poll watchers challenging every Democrat, voting machines that randomly change Democratic votes to Republican votes, etc., etc.
