"the legislation recently introduced"

I stopped reading after that part. This has as much chance of becoming law as Rangel's idiot draft bill. No way this gets through the Senate regardless of a Bush re-election victory.

No matter what John Kerry and the Dems say about Bush changing Social Security, President Bush cannot do anything to change the current system. While he may propose and support legislation that makes changes to the current system, only Congress can make any changes to Social Security.

In the pres. election of 1996 my mother was afraid if dems. didn't win she would lose her social security.
My mom is no longer with us, but when I hear the commie slime bring up the same CRAP to scare other members of the greatest generation it makes me sick....

Anyone who has not read Peter Ferrara's writeups on Social Security are missing something big. In December 2003, the Social Security Administration's Chief Actuary actually reviewed and scored the plan Rep. Ryan and Senator Sununu introduced. The Chief Actuary actually blessed the plan as solving the problem. Unfortunately, the MSM totally ignored this.

Go to IPI.org and go to the Social Security section and look for Peter Ferrara's writings.

I believe BOTH PARTIES allowing unchecked illegal immigration to continue is happening because they hope all those extra taxpaying bodies will keep SS afloat for a little longer.

Am I wrong?

Otherwise, there would be no change in currently promised Social Security benefits — not only for today's seniors, or workers nearing retirement, but for anyone in the future.

I don't believe this can happen without tax increases. The money has to come from somewhere, especially as there will be more and more "retired" people drawing on SS.
