Liberals -- "Social Security Program is too Successful"

The American Spectator has this in an article by Phillip Klein:

The only "crisis" facing Social Security, liberals argue, is that it's too darn successful.

"The problem with Social Security is that it isn't broken, which is precisely why the President is so eager to destroy it," wrote Robert Scheer in the Nation. "It is the continued success, rather than failure, of the program that irks him."

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine about Social Security, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman said, "It's been highly successful, and it's extremely popular. It's one of the things that makes people feel somewhat good about government -- and so, therefore, it must go."

While liberals assert that President Bush has put Social Security in his cross hairs because he wants to destroy evidence that government works, the far more likely scenario is that liberals are frightened to death that personal accounts will thrive.
