Be on the lookout for Bush to tell you he raised social security benefits by 2.1%, but don't be fooled; this is just a cost of living increase to keep up with inflation. And while he's telling you that, don't forget about today's announced raise in medicare premiums in 2004. Bush says that this raise shows that the system needs to be reformed. Isn't that part of his job? Fixing stuff? Not just waiting for it to happen and saying how telling it is of its need to be fixed? "Not my problem" seems to be his slogan as much as it is the rest of the country.
