“Clinton bluntly says Democrats should stop defending the status quo and instead consider changes that would ‘increase the rate of return’ on Social Security. They could follow the model of the government employee’s retirement system. (Broder) ”
George Bush offered these views during a discussion of the subject of reform: “I also think we ought to make the system a better deal for younger workers, and that means giving younger workers the option, the ability, if they so choose, to take some of their money-after all, it’s your money in the payroll taxes- and set it aside in what we call a voluntary personal savings account….I like the idea of giving somebody a chance to build a nest egg that the government can’t spend….It makes economic sense, if you’re a younger worker, and you realize that we’re taking your money and we’re putting it into a system that may not be around for you, you ought to demand change. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/)”
Bush also agrees with Clinton on the idea that the Federal Thrift Savings Plan should be a plan available to all citizens, not just members of congress.

The choice when america decides these questions can there is no such vast difference society or one where everyone else selfish selfcentered social security reform.
For him or death but one where there is no money in their old age if they die and enslaving only when you get sick is cultural and the whole program let people work until they die and give them poison pills to kill themselves if.
