No Changes in Benefits for Those Now in Retirement, or Near Retirement - President Bush’s first Social Security reform principle is that there be no changes in Social Security benefits for today’s retirees or near-retirees. President Bush’s Administration has kept the benefit promises made to today’s seniors.

Wonder what they call near retirement?

Depends on the meaning of the word "near".

No changes for those in retirement....

First we get to work to support those currently in retirement. Then we get to work longer to support those in currently in retirement. Then we die just before retirement... That will fix the system...

Now will someone tell me how this is fair to boomers? Shouldn't all share the pain including those already in retirement?
