Brandon Fox follies, Vol. 4

Apparently PolitiFact is especially concerned about protecting Brandon Fox's psyche.  Posts disappeared by the PolitiFact Matrix are often associated with Fox, lately.

The latest case, blue pill version:

Red pill version:

And, as usual, a reformatted version of my complete response for the benefit of Google spiders and takers of red pills:

@ Brandon Fox, who wrote:

You are a funny guy Bryan. "Reform", huh? You mean privatize, right?

PolitiFact calls that "Pants on Fire" IIRC, but you can call it whatever you want so far as I'm concerned.

A move which would have wiped out a ton of wealth when the market collapsed.

Hopefully you haven't already lost your focus on the fact that Bush's 2001 speech shows that your claim of a planned entitlement crisis to broach the issue of entitlement reform is pretty silly.

The need for entitlement reform was built in by the nature of the pay-as-you-go (Ponzi financing) scheme. It isn't sustainable, and as the Galveston County experiment helps illustrate (imagine Fox News link here), we're capable of doing much better with a system that works based on a citizen's ownership of his retirement funds.

Just another way to funnel even more money to Wall Street.

We certainly wouldn't want to do *that* when it can be so profitably invested in government bonds (pardon the sarcasm). Again, check the experience in Galveston County. It's private investment managed by the local government. The county employees' returns are substantially better than they'd be getting from Social Security.

Just like Paul Ryan's budget is another way to funnel even more money to private insurance companies. The greed never stops with you guys does it?

I'm pretty sure that you did, in fact, miss the point that your conspiracy idea above was bunkum. I do, however, appreciate you undertaking the effort to prove that Republicans are not the only ones who engage in personal attacks in this forum.
