Social Security
Bush�s plan for Social Insecurity
By Jerry Mazza
There�s an old expression. Don�t fix what isn�t
broken. And Social Security is not broken, as suggested by Bush and his
millionaire and billionaire pundits. Not by any means. In fact, it provides
millions of workers with a retirement income that is guaranteed, because they
helped pay for it. It also provides disability insurance to people during their
working years. And it provides survivor�s insurance to the kids of workers who
die at an early age. This gem of the New Deal is still a great deal.

Social Security
Alpo in the golden years
By Susan Goya
What happens with the privatization of Social
Security? At first it seems like a great idea. Any prospectus from just about
anywhere boasts of historical yields far more than the 3 percent annual
percentage rate (APR) the Social Security Trust Fund currently averages
(Business Week, 09/06/2004). Why shouldn't Americans take control of their own
investment decisions and reap some of those appealing 12 percent, 20 percent,
32 percent yields?
