"I honestly think George W. Bush could be talked into a plan like this," Good luck! "so long as there is enough slush somewhere to cut spending without hurting defense or national security." ALWAYS plenty of waste in the federal budget. "It APPEARS we are heading now out of any possible recession" What in the World makes you think that? Wait until mid-year '05. "so now is the time to address SPENDING and the best way to do it with the best excuse is SAVING SS." I already agree with you about 'SS reform'... but why not INCLUDE MEDICARE in a reform effort. THE MEDICARE SYSTEM'S PROJECTED DEFICIT IS FIVE TIMES BIGGER THEN SOCIAL SECURITY'S, and hits a lot SOONER! (They made the imbalance MUCH worse last year when they added drug coverage without funding it... and mandated PROTECTIONISM and OLIGOPOLIC PROFITS for the drug industry.) "As to Public retirement plans, it has ALWAYS aggravated me that THEY give themselves something OVER AND ABOVE the people (who supposedly are their bosses) get. jdn" Agreed!
