Clinton hits Bush on Social Security

Senator Clinton called President Bush's Social Security proposal "morally and fiscally bankrupt" because it seeks to end some payments to widows and orphans.

Clinton said the administration's budget proposal shows they are still intent on privatizing Social Security. The budget for fiscal year 2007 was submitted to Congress on Monday. It would eliminate a $255 lump-sum death benefit that has been part of Social Security for more than 50 years. It also urges Congress to cut off monthly survivor benefits to 16 and 17-year-old high school dropouts.
