Man, they are STILL calling it a cut in benefits, when it's really less of an increase. The proposal will tie the increase to inflation instead of wages, for higher earners.

A registered Democrat, Mr. Pozen donated money to the presidential campaign of Senator John Kerry last year and voted for him on Nov. 2. He was a classmate of Hillary Rodham Clinton at Yale Law School.

First thought - Bush had better watch his back. Never trust a lucifer leftie.

What I don't like about Bush's Social Security plan is the "poor" money accumulating faster than everyone else's. He's giving them freebies, but making everyone else work for their "equal share." He needs to correct that, and treat all Americans equally. There's no reason why someone working part time should get as much as someone working full time when they retire, or someone who sweeps floors getting the same as an engineer.
I don't care for that "share the wealth" crap. I believe in the "earning your wealth" logic. I don't approve of the Bush plan while this part stands. If he gets rid of the Socialist part, I'll agree to it.

The intellectual force behind President Bush's plan to overhaul Social Security, the man the president calls his favorite "Democrat economist," is not an economist.

Oh for God's sake. The Slimes just has to make an insult in the first sentence...truly a mark of the old media.
