I'm starting to think this whole Social Security campaign by Bush is going to backfire. Now that he has raised the issue about the impending crisis, I suspect it will be "solved" by raising the income cap for the SS tax. I remain personally conflicted about the whole issue. I love having my own private account thanks to my state opting out of SS. But my father lost a bunch of his retirement savings thanks to feeble-mindedness in his old age, and SS helped bail him out. I see that some prominent Republicans would rather work on tax reform than mess with SS.
