The Bush administration recognizes the need to "reform" Social Security and replace it with a system that will reward Wall Street and subsidize the brokers that so generously supported them.

After all, Social Security is a New Deal social program that works. This cannot be allowed. Social Security is the only government program that is operating in the black; a clear sign that it needs to be overhauled.

Social programs cannot be allowed to be successful. When Social Security is "reformed" then the path will be cleared to eliminate public education and "improve" it by privatizing and "faith-based" initiatives.

And, of course, we all realize the Post Office must go. The elimination of ad valorum taxation sits high on the red-state agenda, and could best be accomplished by making all state highways toll roads and eventually privatizing new road construction.

Now if we just could find some way of having the market solve the sewer problems---hmmmm!
