Bushinations: What is security, exactly?

Two articles in today’s Times that I happened to read consecutively make a good match:

Pension Failures Foil 6-Figure Retirements, Too

Republicans Try to Dilute Provisions in Tax Bill

What good will it do us to survive into our 70s and 80s if we have to work like dogs “bagging groceries at Publix” or flipping burgers just to pay medical bills? Of course today’s business execs should read these articles with a wary eye, understanding that once they’re gone from the stage they’ll be just as forgotten.

Later: Security surely is not the kind of crap Neocon analysis as posed by Michael Ledeen in this National Review column. [via Jim Gilliam]
