The politics of this are very weird. Americans aren't fond of "welfare" programs, but that's what Bush is proposing to turn SS into - cutting benefits for middle & upper income people without cutting their taxes. That seems doomed from the start, no? And more broadly damaging politically, I'd think. Am I missing something?
