Someone told me yesterday that they had read that Kerry had SS might need to be means-tested. She couldn't remember where she read it. Anyone else seen this?

"During the 1996 campaign, when I was a Globe reporter, Kerry told me the Social Security system should be overhauled. He said Congress should consider raising the retirement age and means-testing benefits" (Michael Grunwald, "John Kerry's Waffles," Slate, March 3, 2004, <http://slate.msn.com/id/2096540/>).
"Declaring 'I am blessed to be wealthy,' Senator John F. Kerry said that, if elected president, he would consider some form of means-testing for rich Americans as part of a broader review of ideas to shore up the Social Security system" (Glen Johnson, "Kerry Hints at Reform for Social Security," Boston Globe, August 14, 2003, p. 21). -- Yoshie Furuhashi English & Comparative Studies Ohio State University <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 614-668-6554
