Karl Rove reveals secret plan to reform social security. |
|
Chicago, IL, May. 4 (UPI) -- The future of Social Security -- whether there will be private accounts for younger workers or whether the retirement system stays essentially the same -- may be decided on the Internet. White House adviser Karl Rove said in a recent conference call that Internet lobbying by young grassroots Republicans will make or break the Bush administration's proposals to revamp the pension program, just as the technology helped get out the vote last fall during the presidential campaign. Consultants and other government experts told UPI's The Web the Internet previously has not been used successfully to change a major federal policy, but it has proven successful in raising awareness of some issues for federal, state and local lawmakers. "If the grassroots are heard from on this, there will be change," Rove said. "If not, we will not have change. The use of the Internet and of other, creative ideas, will make this message heard."
