State of the Union

President Bush refered to privatizing Social Security and changing immigration policy in his State of the Union address. He stated that people should have the option of diverting up to 4% of their income into private accounts. This is exactly what I stated in 1996 when I first realized the enormity of the Social Security problem.

Although I recognized the coming failure of the Social Security system within 40 to 50 or so years, my primary motivation in my proposal was to keep my money out of the hands of the government.

I also considered immigration and realized that the growth of our nation is dependent upon a strong influx of immigrants. Therefore I felt that a relaxation of the then current immigration laws was in order.

I have not changed my position on either issue, and indeed, I find my views vindicated (albeit by an Administration with whom I strongly differ) by a government and a President which view the world with a wild wild west mentality.
