Fortunately, Bush's social security reform program was originally based on a bi-partisan plan which may have the support of both sides over the coming year. Ron, I urge you to reflect on a distinction between what is politically doable and what will work. Bush's program may get enough support to be implemented, but it won't solve the problem. I agree things are screwed up now, but don't think they couldn't get worse. If you cut payroll taxes now and divert that money to IRA's, that's fine, but you've got to legislate your future cut in benefits as part of the same package or the numbers don't add up. Not that that bothered Bush during the campaign... I don't see how letting people think that they can divert their payroll taxes to IRAs without having to pay the piper at some future point accomplishes anything except getting votes. If you cut payroll taxes, social security runs out of money even faster. Thanks, but I prefer gridlock. Karen
