Bush to Outline Goals on Social Security

WASHINGTON (AP) – With four years left to build his legacy, President Bush’s State of the Union address outlines his goals to give Social Security a makeover, stay the course in Iraq, push for democratic reform abroad and tackle an array of domestic issues at home.

Bush was delivering his speech Wednesday on Capitol Hill, already the scene of a testy, partisan debate over his plan to offer private retirement accounts.</i>

Ok, here’s another look, from Dem leader Harry Reid:

President Bush should forget about privatizing Social Security” the Nevada Democrat said. “It will not happen. The sooner he comes to that realization, the better off we are.”

I hold out no hope for the democrats to grow a pair and defeat this, but they should, since Social Security AIN’T BROKEN. But when the group that donated the most to your reelection was the money brokers on Wall Street, then you throw ‘em a sop. Bush might be a brick mentally, but he knows where to stick his butt in the air. The only people that will make money on this 3 Card Monte called “privitizing” will be the stock brokers and their firms.

Let Molly Ivins explain it here.
