CJ, Thanks for providing the following info that I forwarded to email list & posted at various message boards. Many seniors tend to be over-anxious about Soc Sec, which is perfectly understandable. Hopefully they won't be duped by Kerry's duplicity. Here it is:

Kerry CAUGHT in a LIE about Social Security:

Do not be duped by John Kerry's campaign ad that accuses Pres Bush of raising Medicare premiums by 17%. That increase was the result of the Balanced Budget Agreement signed by President Clinton and passed by Congress. Pres Bush was not President at the time. John Kerry is telling an outright lie in that campaign ad. He's hoping you are uninformed and don't realize that President Bush could not change a law that Congress & Pres Clinton passed.

The Kerry ad begins "George Bush pledges to help Seniors on Medicare and the very next day imposes a 17% premium increase - the biggest in history."

As it turns out the 17% increase was not imposed by President Bush but was mandated by the "balanced budget agreement" signed by President Clinton, voted into law by Senator John Kerry, and was scheduled to come into effect during the Bush administration. President Bush had no authority to reverse what had been voted into law by Senator Kerry during the Clinton administration.

Once again Kerry is counting on the ignorance of the American people. Don't let him get away with it.
