Where is the Democrats plan for social security?

Well, President Bush has unveiled some new ideas to help keep social security solvent in the future besides the personal accounts he proposed a few months ago. The ideas are still fairly general at this point, but at least he has come up with some ideas. I do give him credit for that, it would be easy in his second term to just let that one go, especially with all of the opposition his idea for personal accounts have gone up against, but he keeps on going.

One big complaint that I have is that the democrats have no plan of their own. Its fine that they want to oppose Bush's plan, they have that right, but shouldn't they also come up with some alternatives of their own? Tactics like that are what causes them to be labeled obstructionists, something that will not help them win back either the House, Senate or the Presidency. Their strategy with social security seems to be to shoot down the Republican plan but come up with nothing on their own, hoping they will win by the President's plan failing. This is a great opportunity to come up with a plan of their own that they could take credit for but they have not done that and they do not appear to be willing to do so at this time.

You would think they would have learned their lesson by now, but apparently not.

Dems, you need to start proposing solutions instead of just being the party of no.
