George Bush actually said...

For the next 4 years, we're going to be taking on the tough problems like Social Security.

I believe the job of a President is to confront problems and not pass them on to future Presidents and future generations.

You're looking at either major tax increases, major cuts in benefits, major cuts in other Government programs, or massive debt.

The American people expect us to solve problems, and the American people recognize there are serious problems facing Social Security.
