Nick said that the president's proposed changes would decrease benefits. You say that Nick says that there should be no cuts for anyone, ever. You really ARE angling for a job in the administration, aren't you? Anyway, you sure play their reduction-to-the-absurd game. > I, for one, thought that you might at least give credit where credit > is due that at least *one* Party is *trying* to solve our Social > Security problem. I guess that was too much to hope for though.... I believe you misstate the situation. *One* party is continuing its 70-year history of opposing Social Security (the first Republican attacks on the program -- that it was socialist -- began within a year of its inception). *Another* party points out that the sideshow of privatization and the framing device of "ownership" don't even start to address the 27% shortfall that SS will begin to have in roughly half a century.
