I see the Hawai'i Republicans are in lockstep with GWB on Social Security:
I wonder how old Mr. Morioka is, and whether he has parents who currently are or soon will be eligible to collect SocSec.
Brennon Morioka, Hawaii GOP chairman, says he thinks the public will support Bush's plan.
"The president is giving the people a choice. Those who are now in the system or will soon be collecting Social Security have the option to stay in the system.
"But to turn a blind eye to the troubles with Social Security is not being realistic," Morioka said. "We need to act now."
"There has been so much talk over the last 10 years and nothing has been done," Morioka said, calling Bush "a man of action."
"I think it is time to act, and I applaud the president for his decision. I think Social Security as it is has served its purpose. Times change, people change and technology changes, but often government doesn't change with it," Morioka said.
