Quote of the week...

"We have entered a new phase in this discussion... Americans of all ages are beginning to look at Social Security in a new way. Instead of asking whether the system has a problem, they're asking when their leaders are going to fix it.

- President Bush, in his weekly radio address on Saturday.
