WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: 'I don't really understand. How is it the new plan 
going to fix the problem?'

Verbatim response: PRESIDENT BUSH:

'Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost
 drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, 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 that 
 has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. 
Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits
 are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase 
of
 prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise
 based upon inflation, supposed 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.'
 
 Forward this to others --  so they, too, can understand...
