Feb 3, 2005: Like apples and oranges: "It's wrong for the President to hold up one part of a three-part retirement plan and say 'this is what Social Security should be,' when in reality Social Security is what allows federal employees to take the risks associated with the TSP in the first place. And while he may have painted it as 'voluntary,' the benefit cut needed to fund the $2 trillion needed to switch is not. With George Bush's Social Security plan, privatizing your account may be voluntary, but you're paying for it no matter what"
