” I have not laid out a plan yet – intentionally. I have laid out principles. I have talked about putting all options on the table. because I fully understand the administration must work with the Congress to permanently solve Social Security … personal accountsdo not solve the issue.”
-President Bush
“The message coming out of the White House is that we’ll fix Social Security by raising your taxes and cutting your retirement benefits and, to get something passed, we’ll forget about the personal retirement accounts we promised … [that is like telling voters] never vote for Republicans again-we lie.”
– A Senior Republican Senator
