Haqi, I do not really understand your attacks on the Social Security system. Yes, there are inefficiencies, but do you really want to return to the old "system", under which many helpless people literally starved? As far as destroying individual initiative, I cannot credit this, as I look around and see unprecedented entrepreneurial energy. As I've mentioned before, so many people are working that we get alarms out of Washington about the potential inflationary impact of "full employment." This nation is producing wealth hand over fist, and is a leader in almost every field of academic, scientific and technological endeavor. If there has been a corrosion in the American spirit due to Social Security, I think we will have to send out an expedition to find it.
