If SS gets "fixed," chalk up another win for the Rich White Guys club

Bush is pushing for it because he is a Rich White Guy...how is the reshaping of the very winning SS program according to W going to help us common folk?

Slice:

Late February is now the time frame mentioned by the White House for unveiling President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security. The timing is no accident. By waiting until then, the president will conveniently avoid having to include the cost of privatization - as much as $2 trillion in new government borrowing over the next 10 years - in his 2006 budget, expected in early February. In this and other ways, the administration is manipulating information - a tacit, yet devastating, acknowledgement, we believe, that an informed public would reject privatizing Social Security.
