Yahoo! News - Greenspan Urges Social Security Cuts
WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, stepping into the politically charged debate over Social Security, said Wednesday the country can't afford the benefits currently promised to the baby boom generation.

He urged Congress to trim those benefits to get control of soaring budget deficits, which he said threatened a "very debilitating" rise in interest rates in coming years.

The central bank chairman also repeated his view that Bush's tax cuts should be made permanent to bolster economic growth. He said the estimated $1 trillion cost should be paid for, preferably, with spending cuts so the deficit would not be worsened.

Yes, by all means, let's keep the tax cuts for the wealthy and stiff the elderly!!! Quick, do it now before the boomers get here!

Yesterday it was the gays, today the old folks- what will tomorrow bring? Children and small animals?
