1. Too true, but I post from what I know. As there is no full plan, why is Bush pushing this so hard right now and why do you want it so bad? How do you know how good it is? I dislike it on the principle that it destroys what SS is.
2. The plan WILL cut benefits. But the real effect won't be seen for several decades. Then the Federal Government has to bail everyone out without the foresight that strengthening the SS program now would have done. We'll end up paying a premium in the future for what we could be doing preventative spending now to head off.
Privatization is creating that future problem.
3. Very pessimistic and expecting the black community to fail in perpetuity? How about we focus on strengthening the black community rather than pretend that getting a pittance of several thousand dollars in a lump sum when someone dies early is better than getting stable, long term benefits from the SS insurance program.
