"Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, 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. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red. "

1. You know what's so marvellous about this speech?

It's this: nobody in the audience noticed a THING! To them, Bush made perfect sense... and where he didn't, his listeners figured that the problem was theirs, not his. GWB doesn't even have to try any more because he knows that, even at his dumbest, he still isn't dumber than his average supporter! He sold them on Iraq, he sold them on jailing combatants without due process, he sold them on torture, he sold them on black box voting fraud, he sold them on his religion, he sold them on drilling in ANWAR and he's about to sell them a war on Syria. Face it, he's bulletproof.

8. Inquiring minds want to know

I happen to work in a non-profit corporation, 2% raises are not uncommon, so is he saying that social security would be triggered by inflation, what if the inflation rate was 17%, I remember that it was at one time, then wouldn't that balloon the cost of social security, or is it just me.
