President George W. Bush talks with Bob McFadden during a discussion about Social Security reform at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., Jan. 11, 2005. "I know that if we don't address the problem now, it will only get worse with time," President Bush said. "And I believe there is a fundamental duty, for those of us who have been given the honor of serving the American people, to solve problems before they become acute, and not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations."
