Bush Says Social Security Accounts to Ease Deficits (Update5)
Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush said creating private retirement accounts under Social Security will signal to Wall Street that the U.S. government is confronting long-term budget deficits.
"We'll send a message to the financial markets that we recognize we have an issue with short-term deficits and long-term deficits with unfunded liabilities," Bush told an economic conference in Washington. The 69-year-old retirement program will begin paying more in benefits than it receives in tax dollars in 2018, according to the program's trustees.
