I supported the privatization of SS, and I still do. I also don't give two shits about anyone stupid enough to get ripped off by scams, and don't want or need the Democrats to babysit my money for me. I don't necessarily trust Bush to put together a system on...well....anything...but I know that what I heard was a step in the right direction, and I don't really care who put it forward. THe people who shot down the SS reform because they "dont trust Bush" did us a disservice. I don't remember the left saying Social Security isn't an issue.

I'm also a bit tired of the "we want solutions, we just don't want BUSH to give them to us" mantra. Hate Bush all you want, but giving you more control over your own money is a good idea, even if Satan himself proposed it!
