WASHINGTON - The Bush administration said in a new report Monday that Social Security is facing a $13.6 trillion shortfall in coming years and that delaying reforms is not fair to younger workers.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070925/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/bush_social_security

Of course, the last time he tried to pull this nonsense, it was $11 trillion dollars and that was IF the average American lived to be about 150 years old, but still retired at 65 years of age. Oh yeah, and it was stretched out over an INFINITE number of years! (http://www.factcheck.org/article302.html) Is this Bush's last PATHETIC push to DESTROY Social Security? Can you say LAME DUCK, boys and girls? I knew you could!

i hope it is. he is scary. for being a fiscally responsible conservative(sean's words not mine) this guy throws around trillions like nobody else that i have seen. if he did not destroy this country with the war, he'll try to do it with ss.

i don't know about lame duck, more like lame with a capital L.

The only people that destroyed Social Security are the shortsighted Democrats that did nothing to reform the system. Their only cure is to increase the payroll taxes, so they should be supporting the President on this.

Social Security in it's present form is on the fast track to bankruptcy because the Government is spending your contribution as it comes in.

If people don't stop having babies we won't have enough Social Security to go around no matter what.

Bush didn't create the huge problems that SS is now facing, and is trying to patch that sinking ship without any help from the PATHETIC Democrats who are doing everything they can to distract him from doing his job.
