Gee, why then did GW opt for a tax rebate instead of channelling these funds into an insolvent SS

GW has proposed the only sensible way out of the SS boondogle, which is to privatize it; there simply isn't another viable solution. Of course, the Dems are once again stonewalling against it.

What you're suggesting is precisely what the Dems are well known for -- throwing money at problems. SS's problems are structural and putting more tax dollars into it just doesn't help.

Gore's idea is no different from the ideas of other Dems -- lets treat the symptoms, give the constituents some novacaine, so we can get reelected. When it falls apart, we'll blame on the Republicans.
