2. Bush in 2006 Wanted To Fix Social Security Too By Making It A 401(k)!
And Eric Cantor wanted to fix Medicare by turning it into a voucher plan.

President Obama has supported increasing the cap, and since Republicans are instintually against anything supported by the President, I shudder to think what Romney thinks is an appropriate "fix."
