Statistics Lines: 15 [The exception that proves the rule...] Hey, wait a minute! I'm a liberal and I support cuts in Social Security! We simply can't afford to continue the Social Security pyramid game, as there will not be enough workers to support retirees in the future. The question is not whether there are going to be any cuts in the next decade or two, but what kind of cuts. Do we wish those cuts to equally effect all receipients, or do we wish to institute some sort of means test, or do wish to dramatically overhaul the whole system? Those who maintain thier fidelity to the system as it stands now for too long are only going to lose some leverage when the choice is made. David Rubin {allegra|astrovax|princeton}!fisher!david
