Snider retorted that the Bush plan does not do enough to shore up Social Security and pay the national debt...
...reduced and capped the pre-1993 debts of Names who agreed to pay up and waive all claims against the company. But this global deal has raised more questions than it has answered. A committee of the House of Commons derided it as little more than a scheme "to shore up an institution reeling from past failings."
