Finally, a straight-forward discussion of the real issues surrounding privatized Social Security accounts

Finally, a straight-forward discussion of the real issues surrounding privatized Social Security accounts – Has no one yet realized that this new scheme is not social and is not security? Its so sad that the only mainstream media looking at the proposed changes critically is the Christian Science Monitor. Call Bush’s plan what it is: the dismantling of a massive, highly effective, highly successful insurance program with a very low overhead and very little risk in favor of a move to free-market, individual investing. I’m not really sure how killing a program in order to save it makes the least bit of sense. But then, I’m not in government. Or the media.
