Social Security Switch

Re Social Security reform: As I continue to read about President Bush’s concern about a Social Security crisis, I can’t help but wonder: Are our memories so short that we have forgotten Al Gore’s “lockbox”?

During the 2000 presidential campaign Gore maintained that we should put aside the surpluses that existed at the time to shore up Social Security. His opponent, Bush, said that was not necessary, we should use the money instead for tax cuts.

Now I hear Bush say Social Security is in a crisis. Why have I heard no one question this transformation?
