He said that the people who are retired and who are about to retire will have nothing changed. If he planned just what you said, then he certainly had a peculiar choice of words...he should have said that. My understanding is that I'm not "about to retire", since my retirement is at least 15 years away. So, my benefits could be reduced by what Bush is planning. They would even be reduced by what I suggested myself. :-) Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
