Ladieees and gentlemen, straight from http://www.whitehouse.gov, the
Government You've Got! If you live in the USA, that is. And you
deserve it!

Q -- really understand how is it the new plan is going to fix that
problem?

THE PRESIDENT: 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.

Okay, better? I'll keep working on it.
