Pretty typical Bush speech and softball questions that we're used to hearing.
Social Security is depressing for me to say the least.
The only social security plan that I would support is one that has an option for people to opt out of it if they choose. No payment no benefits, let me choose how I want to retire. There are so many people short on cash that could really use the money now instead of later. I can't belive we allow our politicians to take money out of our checks with no guarentee of ever seeing it again. Our government's track record of handling money is appaling, yet that's who we trust our retirement with. I guess the only Social programs I support fully are for the VFW's, and these are the people that are tend to be shortchanged the most. So sad...
