Greenspan actually killed off Bush's
re-election chances with that speech. Social Security is a sacred cow that is rightly so untouchable. GW will have to do a lot of shuckin and jivin to get this issue away from the Dems.
If congress had left all of the funds that were paid in to SS accrue rather than using them for other programs, all of this wood be moot as there would be sufficient funding into perpetuity.
