Revolution philippine-style is a two-step affair. First, you stop traffic in Manila by drawing a large crowd on Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, or EDSA, one of the city's main thoroughfares.

Since the Social Security system cannot keep big cash reserves of its own, Gore relies on a two-step process. He uses $3.5 trillion of the projected surpluses over the next 12 years to pay down the entire national debt; then he takes the resulting savings in interest payments (which by 2015 will amount to more than $220 billion a year) and funnels them into Social Security...
