Democrats a huge issue to hang on Bush's neck, bigger than the fay marriage issue

Everyone knows the SS is on the modernization block this year and during the next four.

The system is going to bust in ten years. Either taxes must be increased significantly, or the system must be modernized to the new realities.

those folks in Florida will have no changes to their expectations, but future retirees will need to invest some of what they send in now to help their own retirement situation.

A real change is needed.

There will be no cuts to people getting ready to retire or people in the system now. There simply will not be the same system for the future retirees.

They should not be angry for no reason, but the rats will do their best to get them that way.

In politics, as in love and war, timing is everything.

Greenie has a tin ear, should've kept his mouth shut.

This will be used by the Dems, it's the old Repubs want to cut your SS bennies.

Politics gets defined by perceptions, and in America today, perceptions are based on emotions.

And this one heck of an emotional hotbutton issue.
