I think we may agree on that point which is the one I've been trying very hard to make amidst the shouting.
Bush wants to introduce personal private investments into the Social Security Trust - I think the general principle of making these programs more competitive and efficient is very good.
If I'm not mistaken you'd agree.
You're mistaken, but I apologize for my tone -- I see red when people say I should be penalized for working hard.
Like I said -- these are going to die of their own weight. They HAVE to. Better for them to die sooner than later.
But in NO circumstance should there be "means testing" of any kind. You paid in, you get out.
If anything, there should be REVERSE means testing -- the more you paid in, the more you get out.
"Bush wants to introduce personal private investments into the Social Security Trust"
BS. Bush "wants" SS privitized as much as he wanted Miguel Estrada confirmed - not much. Having neither provides a useful bloody shirt to the base.
