No Crisis--So Let's Destroy Social Security Just for the Fun of It

Under pressure from independent voices in the reality-based community, some on the right are already beginning to back away from the bogus claims that Social Security faces a short-term crisis. The latest example is George Will, who values his (inflated) reputation as an intellectual too highly to shill for a position that is so obviously false.

Instead, Will tries to argue in today's column that Social Security should be "reformed" not because it's economically necessary but in order to express "the philosophy of freedom." By which he evidently means the assumption that anything private is always better than anything public.
