Saving the already-saved Social Security

Saving the already-saved Social Security
system
02/01/2005 09:14 PMI received some feedback via email regarding my post, No smoking gun
in Iraq from January 13th. One reader wrote:
Gee, I remember back in 1998 the Clintons and just about every
Democrat in Congress were screaming that the budget "surplus" should
only be used to "save Social Security." If you believe Social
Security needed saving back then and doesn’t now then you must believe
it has already been saved. Well, who saved it? Clinton didn’t do
anything, so the only answer can be George W. Bush. So following the
logic of the Democratic talking points that Social Security is not in
crisis (which you have clearing bought into for whatever reason) to be
consistent historically you must be willing to admit that someone
saved Social Security already and you should be able to tell us who
that was. Further you must be able to tell us what transpired in the
last six years in the Social Security budget to take it from needing
to be "saved" to no longer being in crisis. Are you willing to blog
on that a bit?
I could blog on that for a bit (and address the issue of conflating
talk of long-term Social Security reform with "crisis" and an
immediate push towards privatization), but it's a lot easier to point
everyone to someone who can do a much better job of it than I: Hendrik
Hertzberg at The New Yorker. In this week's Talk of The Town, Unsocial
Insecurity Mr. Hertzberg writes:
"This is one of my charges, is to explain to Congress as clearly as I
can: the crisis is now," Bush proclaimed at an "economic summit" a
month ago. He does indeed have some 'splaining to do. This year, the
Social Security system--the payroll tax, which brings money in, and
the pension program, which sends money out--will bring in about $180
billion more than it sends out. It will go on bringing in more than it
sends out until 2028, at which point it will begin to draw on the $3.5
trillion surplus it will by then have accumulated. The surplus runs
out in 2042, right around the time George W. Bush turns ninety-six.
After that, even if nothing has changed, the system's income will
continue to cover seventy-three per cent of its outgo.That's using the
Social Security Administration's economic and demographic assumptions,
which are habitually pessimistic. Using the assumptions of the
nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the surplus runs out in 2052.
And if one uses the economic growth assumptions that Bush's own budget
office uses when it calculates the effects of his own tax cuts, the
surplus runs out in--er, maybe never.
I do support some kind of Social Security reform, if only to ensure
that the surplus never runs out. But I question the language of
"crisis" and the rush to privatization -- a solution that Hertzberg
points out that even White House officials and The Comptroller General
of the United States, David M. Walker, say does nothing to eliminate
the long-term gap and maintain the solvency of the fund.

08/27/2004 01:47 PMCongrats to Roland and Boris and.....
They've just launched Bryght -
a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was
in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving
there.
Vancouver is hot.
Here's Roland's post....
Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal
service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with
Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this
one. Yes, we are all Bryght
guys :-) !
We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to
give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required,
no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at
Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know
of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght
site, please contact us.
Whither StreamLine you might ask?
StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we
still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging
platform.

08/30/2004 12:15 PMI'm quoted in this Kin Girard article in this mnth's issue of Business 2.0.
Only problem is - you can't see the entire article unless your
subscribe.
Oh well.
Anyway - here's the opener to the article.
It's been written off by the experts. But thanks to a Silicon
Valley software legend, the company that invented digital video
recording says it's about to change the way we watch TV -- again.
By Kim Girard, September 01, 2004
Obituaries for the nearly departed TiVo Inc. (TIVO) have been
written up for months now, all ready to go when the sad day comes.
They're poignant, these eulogies. There's the part about how feisty
little TiVo created a beloved and revolutionary product -- the digital
video recorder -- on a shoestring. The word TiVo, like Google and
Xerox (XRX) and only a handful of other product names, went on to be
used to describe what the gadget does -- in this case, learning what
you like to watch, recording similar stuff for later viewing, and
allowing you to pause or otherwise time-shift live action. TiVo
promised to transform television, advertising -- hell, the culture
itself, not least by sparing humanity from having to sit through
commercials. Alas, it burned through $567 million between 1999 and
mid-2004, and was run down by huge and ruthless competitors that
mimicked its technology. But take heart, the eulogists conclude: TiVo
will always be with us -- as a verb, if not a company.
There's at least one problem with that scenario, however. His name
is Arthur van Hoff. He's an obscure but revered high priest of
software coding. And he thinks he's devised a way to pull TiVo back
from death's door.
[Business 2.0]
Here's my quote:
" 'Strangeberry works and it's totally cool', says Marc
Canter, co- founder of Web media tool maker Macromedia, who was given
an early view of the technology."
It does. I am. Here comes TiVO - again.
The only question remains - is it pronounced TeeeeeeVOH or TehVoh.
Inquiring minds wanna know.

Saving Energy Without Derision

Xeni Jardin:
BoingBoing reader
George W.
Maschke says,
Saving Energy Without Derision (5 mb PDF) is a new (and free) e-book
by former Sandia National Laboratories senior scientist Dr. Alan P. Zelicoff. This book is
intended to be a real-world, no-nonsense, thoroughly documented
collection of easy-to-implement recommendations to help the average
thoughtful person to pick the "low-hanging fruit" of conservation and
renewable energy. The author is after the easy 75% of actions we can
all take (but almost uniformly ignore) that most certainly make a
difference in energy costs (after all that's what most people care
about) and adjuring a bit of unnecessary adverse impact on the
environment (which a few folks actually think is important beyond the
mere dollar valuation).
The author (who welcomes comments at zalan8587@qwest.net) intends to
continuously update the book (consistent with readership interest) and
address many new topics. For example, next on his list is an analysis
of the economics and scientific basis of fuel-cell vehicles powered by
hydrogen. (Bottom line, he maintains, is that it's a cruel hoax and
energy disaster, and far less useful than, for example, heavy hybrid
automobiles that get about 50 - 60 miles on an electric charge alone
-- which accounts for more than 85% of driving in the US and elsewhere
on a daily basis -- and which are available now.)
