It will not collapse. It will be able to pay out 70% of what it now
promises.

Fact: There have been no practical solutions offered by democratic
leaders other than simply raising the tax.


The only other options are cutting benefits or raising the retirement
age. Given that, Bush hasn't offered anything. He wants the Democrats
to go first so he isn't tarred.

Fact: Bush's private account proposal is innovative, and shows an
ability to think outside the box. For that reason alone, it should be
allowed to be objectively considered


What is the objective evaluation of it?
