So Bush's proposed program taking much more money from tax payers to set up private accounts isn't socialism? |
Uh. No. You have no understanding of how SS works? Do you realize that it's YOUR money? Allowing you to invest a small portion of YOUR OWN MONEY is not socialism.
Do you honestly think baby bonds are a good idea or are you just automatically for anything conservatives are against? |
I don't think baby bonds are a good idea, and I don't think Bush's plan was a good idea.
Bush's plan would have raided the social security fund to set up all these private accounts just like Hillary's plan would have to raid taxpayers for the $5,000 per baby. The only difference is that Bush would raid social security by having you pay less at first. The billions of dollars in shortfall needed to make the transition to private accounts would have to come from taxpayers.
