Is he that stupid,

Or does he think we are?

President Bush has taken to pointing out the government worker's savings plan as a grand example of what the new Social Security plan could be. The trouble is, every worker can already have about the exact same thing.

The Government thrift Savings Plan is in addition to Social Security, not instead. The workers still pay into Social Security, and still get a guaranteed benefit when they retire. The Thrift plan is just the governments version of a 401K.

I guess any slight of hand is acceptable when you are trying destroy Social Security.
