I will admit that I count on investments to fund my retirement much more than I do social security. I am worried about the effect of variations on the market for those retirees who are primarily counting on social security. Just read these threads to see how edgy people get when the market is not going up. If the entire base of senior citizens gets edgy there may be additional pressure for the government to prop up the market, or individual funds, or otherwise guarentee payments (much like crop supports). I don't think Bush Jr. is up to the task.
