Pres Press

I listened to the president's press conference. The entire boring event. It must be awful to be a whitehouse correspondent these days. I can't say I have ever heard Bush give a direct honest answer to any question. But here is what I got.
To gasoline prices he said there's nothing he can do about them. Well that's right. He's already done all he can to induce oil producing countries to curb production and stress the industry. I don't know if pump prices have increased in Europe as much as in America. That would be interesting.
Social sercurity reform is dying under Bush's proposals. Nobody want's to trust their money to brokers. Who could blame. And this thing about reducing benefits on a sliding scale is not going to get anywhere. The truth is the whole thing (SOS) is flawed in it's original conception and should have been properly funded to start, or fixed in the 50s. Now it's going to take some serious economic restructing to support it's future.
