President Bush is manufacturing a crisis by suggesting that Social Security is in imminent danger. It is not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Bush Administration claims there is a Social Security crisis only to distract Americans from its serious mismanagement of the federal budget.
We are confronting a situation in which the Administration, in my view, is once again manufacturing a crisis. There is no crisis in the Social Security system. The system is not on the verge of bankruptcy.
I was very concerned that President Bush is still trying to frighten or scare the American people with respect to the condition of the Social Security system.
The administration is manufacturing a crisis that does not exist in order to dismantle Social Security.
The administration in my view is once again manufacturing a crisis. There is no crisis in the Social Security system. The system is not on the verge of bankruptcy.
Under the Bush plan, Social Security gets weaker, not stronger.
While Social Security faces some long-term challenges, the system is not in crisis.
I do not believe that the Social Security system is in crisis.
The president's claim that Social Security is going broke is misleading at best. The sky is not falling, although there is no doubt that the system needs to be strengthened.
If the economy is strained, then Social Security, like the rest of the government, will be, too.
