Social Security Reform: No Longer Viable
by
Ursula Carpenter
The reform of the American social security system was supposed to be at the core of President Bush' domestic policy agenda during his second term. That's how it was announced in the State of the Union Address two years ago. Today, after the Republicans' loss of the midterm elections and given the dismal approval ratings of George W. Bush, almost nobody believes in the viability of social security reform because the President is lacking the necessary political capital.(Report in German)
