Bush earlier this week signaled he was open to hiking the indexed cap, which is currently at $90,000, but reiterated he would not consider raising the payroll tax rate, which stands at 12.4 percent. "The president's reaching out to the Democrats" in an effort to build support for an accounts plan, Snow told CNBC. Some Republicans have urged the president to consider raising the cap as high as $200,000 forexstreet.com
