re: This problem is structural and cannot be solved with tax increases. The problem is not structural and can be solved by tax increases (coupled with the change in the COL indexing). re: We knew this in 1982. Then why didn't Greenspan and Reagan do something about it? re: Perhaps the most knowledgeable individiual on earth on this subject, Greenspan, has come out in favor of private accounts. Greenspan came out in favor of private accounts in principle (same as I have). He said go slow and that the effect on the financial markets was unpredictable. And besides, Greenspan is a hack, he supports the programs of whoever is in power at the moment. re: You and other liberals need to just get out of the way of progress here. Liberals got us into this mess in the first place; we certainly don't need your views on what to do about it now. Drop it DR, it's DOA. Even the honest Republicans know we can't afford the debt... you ought to pay better attention. Maybe in the future when/if we get a fiscally responsible President and Congress. John
