well, what are you going to do with some little old lady who has run out of money? You need to have some sort of provision. But if you put an income limit on social security recipients -- any limit at all -- you save some money. Those that were able to save and have sufficient means should not rely on a government check. As matters stand, Bill Gates is going to draw social security. Is that right, or a good use of the power of taxation? Some of the people who wound up in the Convention Center this week are paying social security so people with many times their income can draw a check that they don't need. I think that private accounts are a great idea. I just don't want W to have anything to do with mine. And you have to make some plan for those poor saps who invest in Enron or the like.
