Bush and Social Security

I don't like to read the paper. Day after day it reveals how twisted and regressive our current President is. Today it is social security, he has drawn a line in the sand the raising payroll taxes is off the table for fixing social security. Even Republicans are confused as to why he would rule this out right at the beginning of trying to fix this enormous, nationwide problem. This means we either have to cut benefits and/or borrow money to fix it. Based on recent history--he'll borrow money.

It seems to me that more and more Americans want what they are unwilling to pay for.

Watch--he'll either say there are no options and do nothing or he will gut it. We're a long way from Al Gore's lock box.

Sad times.
