Does this make any sense?
"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?"



Indeed, does this make any sense? Other than the phrase 'personal accounts' giving it away, it might be hard to figure out that this was a statement made last week by President Dimwit on his Social Security Magical Gibberish Tour.

1. Hell no, IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!
Actually, IMHO, I think that this "statement" (I use the term loosely) is immediately recognizable as being by *. He is so incoherent! And when I think of how incredibly articulate Clinton is, it makes me want to shriek or throw up...:puke:

2. No and he purposely didn't want it to make sense
because if average Americans knew he was going to tie increases to the wage index, rather than the price index, they'd realize they will be eating Skippy when they can afford meat upon retirement.

3. Skippy?
Is that a peanut butter or a dog food? Either might be appropriate.
