Conservatives Economic Plan and their new Contract For America.

The Republicans are about to release their economic plan and their new Contract for America for consideration by Congress. The plans are the same as George W Bush and Newt Gingrich proposed, but failed to pass. It's kind'a long, but worth reading.

• It would privatize Social Security in which the fund would be invested in the risky stock and bond markets through private brokerage firms. This will skim 20% to 30% off the top of the principal and dividend for the transaction fees and commissions. No security for a crash like we just experienced, totally volatile, except for tax payer bailouts like we just did. Government backed insurance for the investment bankers, but not the social security investor like you. Your money would remain at risk. Why you ask? Because they are pro business, anti-anything government and they are profiteers.
• Abolish Medicare and provide for a short transitional time with vouchers to seniors to purchase private health insurance. The vouchers would only cover maybe 20 or 30 percent of the cost of the premium. They are not concerned about how many fixed income seniors will not be able to afford the private health insurance. Don't have money, then die, period. Population control the conservative way. The vouchers would be eliminated over 10 years.
• Abolish federal participation in Medicaid and push it totally onto the states to fund, if at all.
• Privatize all national parks, monuments and recreational parks.

 The goal is to reduce government services to such a limited level and obtain money from auctioning off government assets that the national debt will be eliminated by 2055. For the most part, government will be reduced to the defense department, but more of the actual combat will be privatized, the treasury department, and the state department. A second goal is to increase national security and eliminate political unrest within the country, establish tranquility within society and convert all citizens to Christianity.

If you like these ideas, then vote for a conservative this next election and every election thereafter.
