Bush said 1 of very 6 SS dollars per the transcript of the last debate.
What difference does it make if it is VOLUNTARY.

I have no idea what "the plan" in fact is since he's done such a poor job of articulating it...and then there's that pesky issue of where the initial 1 trillion to get it off the ground will come from.
Where do people come up with these figures? The govt. would just have to reduce the contributions of those who VOLUNTARILY want it, by 2%, or if you prefer 6 1/4%, and then that person sets up an SSIRA. Big effin deal.
Let's just throw a number out there like ONE TRILLION DOLLARS and have people say oh we better not do that. Yea let's let the govt. set something up like Gore proposes. No thanks.
