To a genius like Dubya, SS reform is as elegant as reneging on promised benefits. That, my friends, is "privatization." I wish he were just a plain 'ol idiot, instead of what he apparently actually is.
Supe,
Just remember that it was not Bush, but the Democrats who voted to use the SS funds to fund the budget many years ago. Had the fund been left alone after it was started there would be enough money there to keep everyone going for a long time to come...
Any President who took the office in this time period, when the "boomers" start to retire is going to have this problem. How to deal with it is a good question. I am not counting on having any SS funds at my disposal, but if something trickles out it would help considering I have been paying into it for 35+ years.
I would rather have something private so that our future generations can guarantee that they have a retirement. We, unfortunately are screwed but we might be able to keep this from happening again...
