Feed the rich on Soylent Green

After the Bush tax cuts have set deficits sprialling out of control, it seems the fed chief has come up with the perfect solution: Cut Social Security

This is essentially a Swiftian solution which would have us eat our elderly rather than our children. Anyone up for a side of Fed Chief with Fava Beans and a fine Chianti? He's 78 now, and has CLEARLY outlived his usefulness.

*chuckles* True. Though we should still attempt to move globalization forward as best we can, even if it fails to come to it's pinnacle in our time. There has been much talk of Biotech replacing high-tech as America's specialization for the next decade or so. Another reason why the Administrations restrictions on Stem Cell research bother me. South Korea seems to have jumped ahead somewhat, while we've been dilly dallying.
