If it's not worked out I don't understand how you could be in favor of it already. I don't believe there can be a real bipartisan program worked out with junior. In his mind bipartisan means doing exactly what he decrees should be done in the first place. To be supportive of his social security proposals before he lays them all out on the table requires you to trust him, to just take his word for it when he says he is going to "save" social security.

I took his word for it when he said he wouldn't touch the money which was earmarked each year for Social Security. He lied.

I took his word for it when he lied to me about how sure he was that Saddam had WMD's. He lied.

I don't take his word for it about anything anymore. He has proven to me that he is not someone who is to be trusted. Every time he fixes something it turns out that his supporters make money off of the deal. For instance the contractors in Iraq or the energy companies and almost all other pollutes who make out like bandits from his approach to the environment. There are many other examples, like his tax cuts for the rich. I don't see how anyone who looks at his past record could trust junior about anything.

As far as social security goes I agree that something has to be done before it really does fall into financial trouble in 35 or 40 years from now. The thing is junior and his crew are the last people who we would want to have anything to do with "fixing" it.

I also believe there are a lot more pressing problems that should be addressed first. The deficit, national debt and terrorism are just some of those problems. Hell, I even think the problem of allowing republican owned and controlled companies to count votes after elections is more pressing than social security. If something isn't done about that we are headed toward a one party state that bears a strong resemblance to fascism.
