Bush Quote on Social Security
"I think it's a nutty idea to fool around with the Social Security system and run the risk of the people who've been saving all their lives.... It may be a new idea, but it's a dumb one."

And who was this wise critic of privatization? George H.W. Bush, while running for president in 1987.
