摘要

He is on the march again-this time, at home. In recent weeks, George Bush has tirelessly promoted his plan to reform America's biggest and most popular government programme, the Social Security pension system; and he has kept to that message, despite overwhelming opposition from Democrats and much naysaying from Republicans. Meanwhile, just when you might have expected him to continue his first-term habit of enticing politicians to his side with generous hand-outs, he is proposing a budget that is tough on spending. These two problems—Social Security and the budget—are certainly linked, and both need addressing. Consider, first, the plans for Social Security. This is a giant of a challenge. The payroll taxes that finance the public pension system account for more than 25% of all federal revenue; its payments represent more than 20% of all federal spending. For almost two-thirds of America's pensioners, Social Security payments make up over half their income. And thanks to people living longer and having fewer children, its finances are in trouble.
