It claims there are guaranteed benefits that will be reduced. There is no such thing as guaranteed benefits. The Supreme Court has already ruled on that. Benefits are determined by congress every year in the budget.

The poll found that 56 percent said the president's plan to couple new personal retirement accounts with a reduction in guaranteed benefits for most Americans would cut the overall retirement income of seniors.

They'd actually get an increase in benefits due to the privatization percentage.
The question is invalid. One would have to accept the wrong president.
This is a bogus poll.

These polls numbers and bias have already been exposed by www.anklebitingpundits.com. As you'd expect from the Washington Post, most everything about this poll is fraudulent.

Yeah! Look at what it actually says. It's all democrat talking points. None of it is correct.

About a third -- 32 percent -- said Bush's proposals would result in future retirees receiving more money.

At least a few are aware of compound interest. Liberals always rely on an uneducated and uninformed public.

The only true SS reform is eliminating the Ponzi scheme entirely. Anything else is a lie, all that changes is how blatant a lie we're given.

"with a reduction in guaranteed benefits for most Americans "

HUH? What a fallacy and lie to load on the Bush plan.

pollaganda to get the result they want ...
"Do you want this horrible plan that will make you eat dog food?" "Uh.... I dont know what dog food tastes like" "Let me repeat: This plan will make you die a horrible death, are you for or against it?" "well I dont want to die" "Okay, I'll put you down as against"


Media. Bias. Stinks.

A negative Bush story by Jim VandeHei. What's new?

Most newspapers know enough not to assign the most biased, resentful, partisan guy to write story after story about what a terrible job Bush is doing in his presidency.

That's like paying Helen Thomas each time she submits the same article.

What happens to the money after death is a catching issue. Most people don't know the politicians just keep all their money if they die early.

Bush needs to prove that is gives a damn about us normal every day citizens, and that means securing the border, until Bush stops the invasion of illegals his agenda is dead. And since Bush cares more about law breaker. rapists, murderers and invaders then is does about US citizens he is finished as president.

That's why the teachers union doesn't teach any more. Support school choice.
