Bobert: I think you view yourself as a "progressive" don't you? If so, why do you persist in remaining in the 20th Century? I thought "progressives" (read liberal) prided themselves on being "on the go", ready to improve things, while conservatives dug the heels in and rejected change, but you want to preserve "The New Deal", an idea that expired ages ago.

Bush has introduced an idea that will revolutionize the Social Security Program. Private investment accounts for younger workers that will bring them a larger return on their invested funds than will be possible under the existing program. Who is digging in their heels and determined not to change the existing program that, by all reputable accounts cannot survive beyond 2040 or so? "Progressives!"
