RE: "There was one report that suggested Bush's change for SS is to purely reduce the benefits for the younger generation, indirectly so thru privatization. But the younger generation would rather see privatization since no one believes SS will be around. "

Sounds like it. The current proposal is to permit younger workers to invest 2 percent of their income (or roughly 16 percent of their SS taxes) into investment accounts in exchange for a 40 percent reduction in their claims on future Social Security benefits.
