As far as I'm concerned, Social Security, as it is designed today, is immoral. Someone could save for 40 years, then die, and nothing is left to their family

Do you consider all pension plans immoral? They share the same setup. BTW, there are survivor's benefits in Social Security. It's just not an investment plan.

Now, I'm not arguing against changing Social Security from a pension plan to an investment plan. I'm just pointing out that the current system is pay-as-you-go and asking where will the money to make the change come from? I'm still waiting for an answer.

Bush hasn't yet laid out his budget. His speech was definitely a free lunch for all, hard facts to come later.

If Bush gets his tax cuts and they lead back to $200 billion Federal deficits, will you still be for them?

BTW, Gore did propose tax cuts. Just not as large.
