The only good thing about Bush's proposal is that it's DOA. I was previously in favor of social security reform. Now I'm against it. And I'm not the only one.

If reform means that I am going to get even less, I'm against it too. He sure does know how to antagonize his base.

I agree. Nothing is better than a "reform" plan hijacked by RINOs.

And, let me add... Olympia Snowe is going to be writing this SS bill. They can't get it out of Senate committee without her vote (unless they can recruit a Dem, which seems very unlikely.)

You can bet that "reform" will turn into redistribution and bigger government when Ms. Snowe is done with it.

Bush sounded like a liberal in his press conference. Bashing the rich - this is what Dems do.

I hope his SS plan die in Congress too. He didn't sound overly enthusiastic about voluntary private accounts, if he did, he'd have mentioned that any SS reform bill that doesn't include personal accounts will be vetoed.
