Bush has made very clear that he intends to privatize Social Security.
What do you mean when you say that this is a lie?

Time to check you hearing and your brain and make sure they work together.

Many ideas have been researched and PARTIAL privatization of Social Security
has been discussed. That is a far cry from saying Bush is going to
privatize the whole ****ing thing.


It should also be noted that creating private Social Security accounts, as
Bush proposes, doesn't require substituting price-indexing for
wage-indexing. Price-indexing could also be used to hold down the future
cost of the current system as well. In either case, wage-indexing propels
the starting point of future benefits upward more rapidly, and costs more.

Also, the proposed price-indexing wouldn't affect annual cost-of-living
adjustments for retirees once they begin receiving benefits, only the level
at which benefits are set in the first year they are paid. After the first
year, benefits would continue to be increased yearly to maintain purchasing
power

So why not pull your head out of your ass and be honest for once.

Kerry Lied.
