Must read on Social Security

This paragraph links to the best short explanation of the issues at stake in Social Security 'reform' that I've read yet:

"Getting rid of Social Security and preserving it are not two versions of the same endeavor, even if the distinction is intentionally obscured by the rhetoric of 'reform.' They are opposite objectives. Since President Bush is now trying to do the former nothing is more obvious or logical than that the Democrats are opposing him root and branch since they want to do the latter."
