### Etymology

From Latin beneficiarius (“enjoying a favor, granted a privilege”) from beneficium (“benefit”), perhaps via or influenced by French bénéficiaire (“beneficiary”). Indirectly, by way of the etymology of the Latin word beneficium, the English word beneficiary ultimately has the same origin as the English word benefactor, its near antonym.

[…] The new tax-reform ideas would make matters worse for the states and “could further offset any stimulus benefit,” a Brookings Institution working paper said last week. In other words, Bushlip. […] By proposing to make the changes permanent, they also work against the long-term revenue picture and make it tougher to deal with Social Security and Medicare. In other words, Bushlip.

It was the father who started it. As a presidential candidate, Vice President George Bush asked the nation to read his lips. “No new taxes,” he said. Later, as president, Bush introduced new taxes. We now know that he was talking Bushlip. Then came the son, George W. Bush, who said we must attack Iraq because it was a threat to the United States. He told us that Saddam Hussein was linked to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Where was the proof? None has been found, and do you know why? Because there was no proof. It was just the same old Bushlip.
