Social Protection or Gibberish

Subject: FW: WHAT DID HE SAY?

Say what .. Social Security reform defined by the bush ..
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID

President Bush, who graduated from Yale and the Harvard Graduate
Business School, explains his Social Security Reform Proposal...


WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: I don't really understand. How is it the new
(Social Security) plan going to fix the problem?

This was his verbatim response:

PRESIDENT BUSH: "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 that 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, supposed 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."

Please forward this to others so they can understand as well.
