"Investors aren't just Wall Street people, as far as I'm concerned," Bush told the crowd invited by the state's all-GOP congressional delegation. "I think every citizen, every citizen has got the capacity to manage his or her own money."

And there you see the uninformed mindset of a boy raised rich. Like his father before him, who once admitted he had never gone through a checkout line, this president is unconnected to common people, most of whom live from paycheck to paycheck because they don't know any better. There is a generational transport of the paycheck mentality and unless Bush has a personal finance crash program to change that mindset, most of those now paying into the sound SS system would need a financial advisor to invest in Wall Street. And that would cost a lot more than the SS trustees cost.
