Subject: RE: BS: 'Reforming' Social Security?
Well, just another thought.

As I read more and more stories about the *supposed* Social Security "crisis", it doesn't seem that it is a crisis. Even sources within the Bush administration admit that the sysytem is solvent for many, many years to come. Like decades?!?...

Where's the "crisis"?

Bush saying it is a crisis doesn't make it so. (Think Iraq here...) Yes, it's time for some honest discussions, unlike were conducted proir to the invasion of Irag, because there's a good chance that the sky may not be falling after all...

And once this discussion has occured then we might continue our discusssions on just why, all of a sudden, Bush and his folks see nothing but crisises in programs and policies for which their party has wanted to change going back decades.

Just a thought.
