10) “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.

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.”—Explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

Off to Cafe LaMaze for their 77th anniversary bash. Each year, they serve a FULL prime rib dinner for $7.99! Yep, awesome, but you have to get there and stand in line for about an hour or 2 before you get in. Very popular each year (and all other days) but this once a year price is worth the wait. Hope my bones and joints woozy can manage the long stand.
