• BUSH’S SOCIAL SECURITY GIBBERISH

  The other day I ran across a comment from a person who attended President Bush’s “Town Meeting Rally” in Tampa, FL. As with all his speeches, attendance was by invitation only and all questions were screened in advance. How he expects to get any input from “concerned citizens” is beyond me, but I expect he sees these rallies as Sound-bite opportunities and doesn’t really care for any.
  He does, however seem to need some input if these quotes from his speech are accurate:
  "Because the - all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those - changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be - or closer delivered to what has been promised."

  Doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence, does it?

  Make no mistake. G.W.Bush is not a stupid or confused man, he just thinks you are.
