President Bush in his recent State of the Union address called the U.S. Social Security System “...a great moral success of the 20th Century.” Mr. Bush is the leader of an immeasurably powerful government. The president’s assessment of Social Security’s moral achievement must be that of a man who believes, despite abundant evidence to the contrary, that government is an agent of moral good. Otherwise he must assume the role of villain in his own life’s story, a role no one willingly accepts.
