1. No I do not think so (propaganda)
Just another way of taking more of our money.

3. It will if Bush's partial privatization plan goes through.
Unless I'm missing something, it seems to me that Bush's plan - allowing workers to invest their funds rather than pay into the SS trust fund - would bankrupt SS far faster. If less money is coming into the system, you can't expect to get more money out of it.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
