I don't believe that Bush is bucking Frist by stubbornly going all around the country pushing his privatization scam. That he is doing so that he looks resolute and tough. Watch what he says on this tour. It may happen at about the third or fourth place he visits and it will gradually morph into something like you describe.

Democrats will accept it and another chunk is taken out. I am fairly postitive they will not resist or say anything bad about Bush and his crazy schemes.

The media will report it as a huge win for Bush--that he "fixed" or even "saved" SS.

Terrible to be such a bitter skeptic, but nothing coming out of the White House can ever be believed. Bush is selling a product, when it doesn't sell, change the advertising , the colors, the music etc.
