"Historically stocks have outperformed bonds," Depends on the period you are looking at. There are several LONG multi-decade stretches where they have not. "and a blend of the two has outperformed either." True... and risk-adjusted performance is even better when other asset classes (real assets & or commodities, foreign, short positions, etc.) are included in the mix. So why doesn't the proposal ennunciated by the Prez allow any of those? Why does it keep the so-called 'private' accounts in the hands of the government? Why would it force most participants to trade their investments for an annunity at retirement? Why the 'claw-back' provision? You see, I'm not against 'privitization' schemes at all... just the bad ones. "President Bush must want what is best for his people." .... (no comment).
