Krugman has Bush's Number on Social Security

While incredibly important, you've got to admit the debate over fixing Social Security can be really B-O-R-I-N-G. In today's New York Times, columnist Paul Krugman does a stellar job of making sense of the whole mind-numbing morass:

"Once you cut through all the fine phrases about an "ownership society," this is how the Bush privatization plan works. Payroll taxes would be diverted into private accounts, forcing the government to borrow to replace the lost revenue. The government would make up for this borrowing by reducing future benefits; yet workers would supposedly end up better off, in spite of reduced benefits, through the returns on their accounts. The whole scheme ignores the most basic principle of economics: there is no free lunch."

As Krugman deftly points out, privatization is a ridiculous scheme that the Bush Administration is trying to foist on the American public. I believe the real goal of Bush and his cronies is to repeal the New Deal and any other programs and reforms that benefit real working class families.
