OMG! Now I think I'm a libertarian, so confusing. Seriously though, the "classic liberalism" is what I identify most with, although I do have some conservative views on certain things.
Libertarianism is basically pro free economics, pro social liberties. And no AB, true Libertarians don't support Bush. They run their own candidate for president, and if anything, take votes away from Bush and/or Republicans.

I seriously wish you knew what you were talking about when you posted about politics.
The reason social security is going to die is because it began during the age of the baby boomers. After that generation, the rate of birth declined sharply, so now that it is 2006 there are far more people retiring than there are working and the birth rate isn't increasing, so there won't be any money left for us by the time we get to retirement age. It's been a problem that could have been forseen even in the 80s had someone just looked, but now that we know about it, we need to do
something about it because I'm not going to sit here and pay taxes for something I am promised but will never receive.
