Social Security Death Wish

Molly Ivins wrote one of the most clear articles on the phony Social Security 'Crisis'.

el - I am convinced that Social Security became a 'crisis' for Bush when he was told the current funding mechanics of Social Security pretty much preclude him for lowering taxes for the rich each year. The reason being that Social Security excess taxes on those earning under $90,000 are coming down and he can no longer use them to partially mask his deficit spending. He made a promise to try to reduce the deficit when Social Security will no longer be helping him.
