Mealy mouthed on Social Security

Bushies want to have it both ways. They want to be able to mislead but leave themselves an escape hatch in case someone calls them on their fraud. Here's Bush's press sec., Scott McClellan, on Social Security:

"Younger workers today -- my generation and younger generations expect that they won't have any savings, when they retire, in their Social Security accounts. That's why the President wants to act to strengthen it."

Is the problem the expectations of younger workers? Is the problem the system? If the problem is misinformed expectation, wouldn't a public education campaign do the trick? Alas, conservative propaganda may be the source of the widespread and mistaken belief that the system is in crisis.
