Then why do you keep comparing it to investment programs, and talking
about "returns"?

Can you not discuss the issue without some kind of inherent dishonesty in
your approach? Or would that leave the only option of abandoning your
preconceived "solutions"?

... As well as not the national retirement program.

You're right, it isn't... except for those who are either too poor or too
dumb to save up for their own future. Your point is... ??

And please answer the question... just exactly *who* are you accusing of
"living large" on Social Security?

You and your side are the ones saying it is the national retirement plan and
you get a good return on you money. Neither is true. And the plan put
forward by Bush allows you to either leave the tax money in SS (WHICH THE
GOVERNMENT IS HAPPILY SPENDING NOW) or put part in a private investment
account. You do not get to keep and spend the money each month like a raise
in pay.
