The Washington Post interviewed Bush Jr. The transcript is at
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12570-2005Jan15.html . It's a
remarkable
document, and well-worth reading for anyone who wants to know Bush's plans for
Iraq, Social
Security, and the next four years.
Below is an example of Bush's plans for Social Security.

The Post: Will you talk to Senate Democrats about your privatization plan?
THE PRESIDENT: You mean, the personal savings accounts?
The Post: You used partial privatization yourself last year, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes?
The Post: Yes, three times in one sentence. We had to figure this out, because
we're in an
argument with the RNC [Republican National Committee] about how we should
actually word
this. [Post staff writer] Mike Allen, the industrious Mike Allen, found it.
THE PRESIDENT: Allen did what now?
The Post: You used partial privatization.
THE PRESIDENT: I did, personally?
The Post: Right.
THE PRESIDENT: When?
The Post: To describe it.
THE PRESIDENT: When, when was it?
The Post: Mike said it was right around the election.
THE PRESIDENT: Seriously?
The Post: It was right around the election. We'll send it over.
THE PRESIDENT: I'm surprised. Maybe I did. It's amazing what happens when
you're tired.
Anyway, your question was? I'm sorry for interrupting.
