LOL. "Fraud"? Social security is nothing more than an intra-generational transfer. Do you think the current generation of kids should be expected to fund substantially higher real benefits for future retirees than is paid to current ones? That's what you're asking of them by indexing promised future benefits to wage growth rather than inflation. There is no real benefit cut in Bush's plan - he's just not making our kids promise a substantial benefit hike. Kucinich and all the other dems all over last weekend's talk shows who trumpeted this "40% benefit cut" distortion are the frauds.

BTW, the funniest one was the dem on Stephanopolis's show who, in a span of about a minute, both attacked Bush for this supposed "benefit cut" AND suggested the very same thing, though in different words, in order to "save" the system. Quite a feat of doublethink, wouldn't you say?
