Thanks Buzz, SS is a topic of concern to all of us.
WARNING: The following doesn't really address the topic started by this thread. It instead digresses into an Al Gore authored "publication support commentary" regarding a book titled The Assault on Reason.
Although (candidly), the author thinks the "Lock Box" should ALWAYS have remained in place, and that only a FOOL would mess with the contents of that rhetorical box, as does the writer of this comment.
We now return you to the regularly scheduled program
Speaking of Al Gore:
The Assault on Reason is a decent read, but isn't really for anyone interested in his platform of supporting Social Security.
Broad summation, former VP Gore doesn't hold back on flailing the George W. "Shrub" administration for their "Policy of War" and related invasion/occupation of Iraq.

You should now return your seats and tray tables to the full upright position, thanks for flying M Kitt commentary
