Hi River,
Exactly. My reasons for quoting George Will and Cato Institute was to show this wasn't a left-wing vs. right-wing problem. It's the shaping of the reform that is where the differences come in. I also recommend everyone read the entire piece, not my just quoted excepts. I understand that the Retirement Fund will be separated from the Disability and Survivors Benefit Fund, but it's how this is done that will make the difference. I'll let everyone know what I hear or read.
With Love,

Hi,
I appreciate your long explanation Dave, that's certainly more than I
can do at this point. REmember two things, the CATO institute is a
NEOCON think tank, regardless of what you hear, as well George WIll is
a long-time NEO-CON. It's not enough anymore to believe what you see
or hear from 501c3 orgs, as politics has penetrated practically
everyone and everything.
Something everyone is missing, the Privatization of Social Security has
NOTHING to do with Social Security Disability. It is clear when
reading the information on the link I sent, that the intent is to
SEPARATE the Retirement Fund from the Disability and Survivors BEnefit
Fund. The only sure thing I have read is an intent to save both funds
and to separate retirement from the to benefit funds. There is NO
CLEAR PLAN as to how this will be implemented. No c! lear plan on how
disability benefits and survivor benefits will be set up, managed, or
funded. Period. IF you find anything to the contrary, that
specifically mentions Disability and SUrvivor benefits, and how those
programs will be implemented and funded, which is authored by the gvt,
pass it on.
