How quick we forget? We are gonna wind up dishing our trillions for the mess GB left, wonder what he did with Clinton's surplus?
Bush on SS, we all saw how that group did, didn't we?
BUSH: We want to allow younger workers to take some of their own money & put it in safe investments so that $1 trillion grows to $3 trillion. The money stays within the system.

I will touch the third rail so I can fix it
Social Security has been called the ?third rail of American politics? -- the one you?re not supposed to touch because it shocks you. But, if you don?t touch it, you can?t fix it. And I intend to fix it.
To seniors in this country: You earned your benefits, you made your plans, and President George W. Bush will keep the promise of Social Security. No changes, no reductions, no way.

For younger workers, we will give you the option -- your choice -- to put a part of your payroll taxes into sound, responsible investments. This will mean a higher return on your money, and, over 30 or 40 years, a nest egg to help your retirement, or pass along to your children.

When this money is in your name, in your account, it?s not just a program, it?s your property. Now is the time to give American workers security and independence that no politician can ever take away.
