I'm seeking that the White House release its plan.

You must have not been paying attention or didn't get to watch the President's speech last night. Bush has no intention of putting out specifics. He's put forth a general plan, and outline if you will, and wants input from Congress before they will collectively settle on the specifics.

Bush has been floating the "specifics" via leaks for the past month or so, and they've been seriously tested, mostly from conservatives, the liberal political establishment not even knowing why they believe the things they do.

Apparently this Wash Post reporter was wrong to a degree, but where you think he got his information? Wasn't Congress.

Bush can follow the normal course, propose the bill, THEN bargain and discuss. I read his "Congress" ploy to be an exit strategy to save some of that "political capital" he completely pinned on Social Security "reform".

Even this WH release, putting aside whether its "facts" are really speculations, makes it clear that it's not money under our control but the government's control.
