It's an analysis so it should be in with the
editorials.
I'm not going to take the time and argue against it
but I will point out one issue I noticed.
"His proposed changes in Social Security to allow
younger workers to invest part of their payroll taxes
in stocks and bonds could cost the government $2
trillion over the coming decade"
Why will this cost the government anything? Isn't it
my money? I put money in and the government borrows
it. When I retire the government borrows from someone
else to pay me back. Bush's plan is to put my money
aside, reminds me of the lockbox. So by saying it'll
cost the government $2 trillion means they need to
borrow that money from someplace else? Again fixing
the SS problem may cause a different problem but
should we do nothing?
