George Bush actually said...

There's a safety net for retirees. There's a hole in the safety net for a younger generation coming up. And that's why I've asked Congress to discuss the issue. I guess it's just my nature. I believe when you see a problem, you've got to deal with it and not pass it on to future presidents and future Congresses.

Context

President Bush discusses the need for Social Security reform and emphasizes the importance of addressing current issues rather than deferring them.
