"In the future, not talking about how you're going to fix Social Security will be the third rail in American politics"

That was President Bush, just now, in his last press conference, talking about his presidency. He said he regretted bringing up Social Security reform right after the 2004 elections; he wishes he'd started on immigration reform instead.

However, he said, he proved that you could talk about Social Security reform and still get elected; it's not the third rail of American politics anymore.

I agree completely. I want every politician to talk about how they're going to reform Social Security and Medicare, before those programs absolutely destroy our country and bring down our government. It's a looming nuclear bomb that will ruin us if we don't fix it now.
