by Alan Greenspan, who said calmly that SS benefits should be cut to pay for the exploding deficits--which he himself signed off on. I listened to the entire Greenspan testimony on MSNBC this AM. Greenspan was VERY careful in his discussion...and said he hoped he wouldn't see any one sentence headlines saying 'greenspan wants to cut SS'..... He specifically mentioned the COLA's (built in increases by cost of living percentages) and FUTURE retirees....NOT touching any of the current retirees, NOR any of the soon to be retirees.....He definitely mentioned having the future retirees needing enough time to make appropriate adjustments in their planning. I suggest any who question the testimony be among the first folks to look up the Transcript of his testimony.
