Greenspan's recommendations not only reflect some very questionable economic analysis. They also ignore the policy choices that the country has made on Social Security for the past two decades?
Now fast forward to 2001. When the Bush Administration proposed its huge income tax cuts, they were supported by Alan Greenspan ? largely, he said, because he believed that fiscal surpluses had grown too large. Thus the Social Security surplus ? financed by payroll tax increases on the lower and middle classes ? has been used to fund income tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit high-income people.


A Kiev art museum contains a curious icon from St Catherine's monastery on Mount Sinai. It shows two robed Christian saints. Between them is a traditional Roman pronubus (best man) overseeing what in a standard Roman icon would be the wedding of a husband and wife. In the icon, Christ is the pronubus. Only one thing is unusual. The "husband and wife" are in fact two men.

The Bush administration on Tuesday sternly rejected bids for power by rebels in Haiti and insisted they lay down their arms and permit an orderly transfer of power from ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
But civil rights activist Jesse Jackson said the rebel leader was a U.S. ally in preparing for Aristide's ouster and it was ironic to oppose him now.

"It could become a Vietnam in a way that the Vietnam war never did," Brent Scowcroft said in an interview published in Portuguese weekly newspaper Expresso.
"Our exit from that country did not have grave consequences, while if we wanted to get out of Iraq today, the consequences would be very deep."
Scowcroft added he believed the Bush administration has stopped hinting at the possibility of military intervention in other nations, such as Syria and Iran, because Washington is disappointed with the results it obtained in Iraq.
Major fighting dragged on for eight years in Vietnam, from 1965 to 1973. More than 3 million US troops served in the conflict, and more than 58,000 Americans were killed.

Specifically, the Denver Rocky Mountain News reports that, while "the White House said President Bush made his decision only after officials in San Francisco and New Mexico presided over same-sex marriages,"1 Bush actually "pledged to Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO) that he would support her proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage three months before" his public announcement last week
On February 15, 2000, Bush said, "The state[s] can do what they want to"7 on issues surrounding gay marriage, and he reiterated this position on May 2, 2000, saying it is "going to be up for cities and states to make those decisions."8 Similarly, Vice President Cheney said on October 5, 2000, "I think the fact of the matter, of course, is [same-sex marriage] is regulated by the states. I think different states are likely to come to different conclusions and that's appropriate. I don't think there should necessarily be a federal policy in this area."
