That's a reasonable argument. But I think it is premature. Bush said he will release an actual plan in February. If the plan is bad, or if it looks okay but still seems likely Bush will screw up the implementation of the plan, then it would be reasonable to oppose it.
Tell me. If, instead of making radical changes we tweaked the system; tied increases to inflation rather than wages (as you suggested), gradually increased the retirement age to, say 70, made benefits 100% taxable above a certain level of total retirement income, etc. Would that be enough to keep the system solvent?
I haven't seen you're opinion on the UK system that seems to be in so much trouble and is looking to _our_ system as a possible solution. How do we keep from having the same kinds of problems that they're having?
