Wow! So...Obama is evasive and gives statements that are non-
specific? Here is an example of how confused and muddled Bush can be
when he speaks. From the White House Web site:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/02/20050204-13.html
WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: I don't really understand. How is it the new
[Social Security] plan is going to fix that
problem?
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, 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.
Your memory is very selective and short term......and just plainly
wrong.
