Bush is working on Privatizing 2% of Social Security as an "experiment."

Funny that he is working on privatization, but he somehow managed to steam roller drug benefits through. What is to experiment with? How would you only do 2%? I must admit, I have not see his "plan" but I guess that might have something to do with it taking a back seat to moving all of Mexico to the US and moving what's left of the US to Mars.

Let me tell you, if you walked in to any Libertarian Party official meeting with those views above, you'd be subjected to vicious rhetoric to the contrary.

Maybe, but I would agree with 98% of what the LP was trying to accomplish, which is about 96% more than I agree with Bush.

Indeed. Bush's Medicare Reform carried with it no fewer than six Privatization options over the next ten years. For the paltry fee of $10 per American per month (i.e. $39.5 Billion per year for each of ten years), Bush bought Democratic acquiescence to the eventual Privatization of the massive Medicare program.
