Bush Slips Social Security Plan Into Budget - Allan Sloan - Business Edge - Newsweek - MSNBC.com

Bush Slips Social Security Plan Into Budget - Allan Sloan - Business Edge - Newsweek - MSNBC.com
Here's the part I find most interesting. The previous commission examining Social Security had to agree to support private accounts.

Bush's 2001 Social Security commission had members of both parties, but they had to agree in advance to support private accounts. Their report, which had some interesting ideas, went essentially nowhere.

Is it really a fair, unbiased report when you predetermine the outcome?
