First of a...No, I think that's quite off the mark. First of all it makes no sense--by the administrations own logic--that you can meet a financial "crisis" in a program by having people opt out of it. Yes, that would decrease burden; it would also decrease revenue. So that would accomplish nothing.<br /><br />What the administration wants is for the public to embrace private accounts in lieu of benefits. That means phasing out the program. Of course, they're not talking about the cuts while they sell the plan. Nonetheless it's widely recognized in the business press that that is what the Bush plan means. If you aren't going to fund the program through taxes then you're going to cut benefits.J.R.
