TIME.com: Is There Really A Crisis? -- Jan. 24, 2005

Worth a read. ANother voice and analysis in the great SS debate. At least the discussion is getting a lot of traction.

Here's one of the key outfalls if Bush is successful and why the debate will stir up a political hornet's nest:

"Transforming Social Security is Bush's biggest domestic political gamble--audacious even for a President who prides himself on audaciousness--and one that could reshape far more than a single government program. Those who believe in it most deeply say it could redefine politics itself, putting Republican principles in a position to dominate for the next half-century, as Democrats were able to do after F.D.R. created the program that was the signature of his New Deal."
