Social Security

Social Security seems to be the most important domestic issue for President Bush. I certainly hope the discussion about Social Security is honest. I don't see any connection between the "crisis" (at some point in the future more money will be paid out than will come in) and private accounts. Private accounts may or may not be a good idea in and of itself, but it would actually speed up the crisis rather than fix it. Kevin Drum at the Washington Monthly has some good thoughts about the issue.
