Sure the PBGC is underfunded by $450 billion and many companies with
pensions are on the verge of bankruptcy. But don't worry that they
will all fail, because the economy is doing SO much better according to
the administration. Look at all the new high paying jobs that have
been created here and Bangalore! CEO salaries are at record highs so
things are SURELY ok with the economy, US companies and their employees
who will soon be able to trust their future retirement to the ALWAYS
growing stock market rather than a mere promise from the government.

Also, don't forget we now have much better corporate governance and
oversight Just look at the justice brought to criminal mastermind
Martha Stewart. We'll just ignore Ken Lay who could not possibly know
the petty details of Enron operations. I'm sure his compensation was
well earned. And besides, he was such a good friend of the party!

Oil prices going up? No problem. The prez and the Saudi's are
friends. (I saw them holding hands!)

Oh, and please don't argue that a single terrorist attack of one tenth
the scale of 9/11 would be a major setback because it won't happen.
That's right, we are now SO much better protected with the TSA, Patriot
Act, and TFRs not to mention the COMPLETE elimination of the great WMD
threat to the US from Iraq. In addition, the US has clearly taken a
lead in reducing the threat from Korea and Iran. I hardly think about
them at all. Oh yes, Freedom is on the march!

So don't worry about Congress stepping in to bail out the PBGC. The
economy is sound thanks to this administration's oversight. Be
comforted that we are led by the party that believes in less taxation
and less regulation so you know they are going to act in YOUR best
interest. Right?

.... I feel so relieved, now that you have explained it so clearly.
