X times the number of people participating times teh amount at issue. That's basically what bush is proposing, but the problem is that all current benefits are being funded by current taxes, with some taxes going into the trust fund. If you put those extra funds into "private" accounts you're depleting the trust fund even faster. The cost of reducing liabilities in the future is decrease revenue presently.

Bush is not proposing that SS gets to share in my upside. My plan potentially would produce a net game to the system, so I think the real cost would need to be discounted for that.
