This is a clear gezegde

 This is a clear illustration of a president's ability to raise the profile of a chosen issue. Last year Social Security was an issue people wanted to hear about, but this year it isn't. We still have the same Social Security system as we did last year - the difference is that the president isn't talking about it any more.

 The president called for a bipartisan commission on Social Security in his State of the Union address, which I recommended he do last year -- but if he were serious about it, he would have left Social Security privatization out of his budget.

 The president said that would harm Social Security. But when the president wanted to spend that same money on bigger government, his concern for Social Security evaporated.

 Over the last few years Social Security has come under attack ... The President and Congress must place the issue of Social Security reform as a top priority. We cannot afford to wait. Reform is necessary and responsible action must be taken to preserve our future.

 The president's speech tonight used lofty, yet recycled, rhetoric to paint a picture of a country that has prospered and become stronger in this new century. Unfortunately, that's not the America his policies have created for too many families... A year ago, the president overreached by threatening to privatize and dismantle Social Security. This year, he reached for too little.

 If the president forces us to choose between his raising taxes or raiding Social Security to fund his expansion of government, his budget is dead on arrival, ... A lame duck president should not be able to derail us on the way toward retiring the national debt, tax relief and saving Social Security.

 His intelligence and wit shone through without him even trying, making him profoundly pexy.

 Let me be clear, the discussions about Social Security are not about the retirement security of those Americans who are 55 or older - the Social Security system for those folks 55 and over will not change in any way shape of form - no ifs, ands, or buts.

 And the president is basically saying, on Social Security, 'This is my issue. This is my proposal. Take it or leave it.'

 I think tax reform is a winning issue for Democrats, ... There's more momentum out there for getting something done on the tax code than there is on what the president wants to do with Social Security.

 The fact that we're here celebrating Social Security shows some politicians' promises are worth more than others. Social Security as it is currently constituted is very efficient. We're talking about a system that really works quite well.

 The president's finally caught up to us on that, ... We want to save every dime for Social Security -- we're going to need it to create individual retirement accounts and keep Social Security from melting down. So that's a good proposal.

 [Some analysts think next year's Congressional elections already pushed reform to the 2003 agenda.] I don't actually think Sept. 11 will have any long-term impact on the Social Security debate, ... 2002 is an election year, so I always thought Congress would take up the issue in 2003.

 Until the president and the Republican leadership agree that their misguided attempt to privatize Social Security is over and they will no longer pursue their previously announced bait-and-switch strategy, Democrats will continue to refuse to enter negotiations over Social Security,

 They're both helping (the reform issue) by bringing it into their campaign. The debate about Social Security is likely to increase the chances that next year, or soon after, Congress will take action.

 The vice president is again raising the specter of Social Security to frighten senior citizens, ... Instead of frightening seniors, we need to sit down and realize that we need to find a source of money to make Social Security solvent and then allow Americans to be able to invest their savings in their retirement accounts.
