Privatize parts of social security?
* need only look to what Britain did in the 80's. They privatized part of their system and it has been a disaster! You can't tell me that * doesn't know this. He is doing this because 1) he wants to show that he has done something in his presidency in regards to domestic issues whether it is right or wrong and/or 2) he and his greedy friends have some ignorant notion that part of their money that they earned (stole, inherited whatever) is being paid out to less fortunate, less deserving folk who wouldn't have the money to do much investing in private accounts anyway. Scum!!!!!!!!

2. But since the Brits are going to ADD a residence required only old age
pension to bail out the folks that got screwed by Thatcher's private accounts, I am sure Bush will include the same in tonights speech.

compassionate conservative that he is.

3. Bush wants to destroy SS
He and the rest of the repukes have been trying to do this for 60 years. Remember newt gingrich wanting to let the system starve until it died? That was medicare but they feel the same way about SS the enemy of making workers slaves. They are the never give a person a break group.
