Feed the rich on Soylent Green

[richardf8]

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.

I think that's giving him a bit too much credit for bloodthirsty long term thinking. Despite what my teacher advises us on how the judges in the Federal Reserve thing will question us, I still refuse to subscribe completely to the "Economists go for the jugular" concept. ;)

Besides, he did support the tax cuts, at least partially, and unless he's been planning on getting rid of Bush for a lot longer than previously thought...it's somewhat unlikely.
