Social Security reform is a red herring.
The shortfall in social security is nothing compared to the shortfall we face in medicare/medicaid in the future.

The price of health care is going to bankrupt us long before anything else does, and since Bush doesn't have ANY sort of plan for health care he's using social security as a "diversion" of sorts. (I'm paraphrasing Bob Brinker, who I happen to agree with on this)
