Scare tactics. To be perfectly honest, both sides use horror stories about the social security to spook the voters. I freely admit that the Dems have done it in the past, and now Bush is doing it.Jack Dawson said:Can any of you liberals explain to me why it is in such great shape after years of saying it wasn't?

On one hand if we semi privitize it with so many irresponsible people we end up with a bunch of new SUV's on 24's instead of investing.
