I've provided enough support for the idea that voting for more of these folks' "control", is indefensible....
by the way....the author is a journalist on the subject of economics, not an economist, as I earlier described him:
If you think that the author is partisan, google his name with Kerry....

On the issue of support - Here is a link to Bush's plan:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/social-security/
I am not aware of any action on the part of congress to fix Social Security.
Also a general note - Quoting the opinions of journalists means nothing to me. I am a numbers guy, and a big picture guy. Numbers can move my opinion. The logic in an argument can move my opinion. The author of the source you cite presents his opinion with nothing to support it, so why not give your opinion rather than his, I would find that more interesting. I generally disagree with his assumptions, but that is not the point of this thread.
