Fact: Alan Greenspan says Social Security reform is an urgent problem
facing America.


It'll be a lot easier to understand, Brian, if you just cut through all the
spin. Everytime some talking head like Alan says "Social Security reform is an
urgent problem", substitute the word 'payback' for the word 'reform'.

Then you'll see why Washington is in a panic over this issue! As you've noted,
their hand has been in the cookie jar for decades, and their dirty little secret
is slowly leaking out because people are starting to wonder "will it be there
for me". The answer is "Well, yes, it will be if we put the cookies back in the
jar for you." Can you say "taxes"?

So the "urgent problem" is to decide whether to engage in 'payback' or engage in
'reform'.

Hmmmmmm, I wonder if the bank will let me 'reform' my mortgage?
