Bush allies plan big push on Social Security - WP via MSNBC
Fund-raising campaign aims to secure private accounts...

President Bush's political allies are raising millions of dollars for an election-style campaign to promote private Social Security accounts, as Democrats and Republicans prepare for what they predict will be the most expensive and extensive public policy debate since the 1993 fight over the Clinton administration's failed health care plan.

These guys have their eyes on your Social Security dollars to put into their private accounts, so they can make a profit, managing your money.
Shrub's problem with this is that none of his friends are making any money off the system.

2. Discussion on PBS Washington Week last night...
pointed out that Bush's big SS plan may run into some unexpected obstruction, not just from the Dems, but also from Repubs who are up for re-election in 2006.

They seem to know that this privatization plan is not a favorite among most Americans, red or blue.
