Based on the tone of your previous posts, I didn't think we were
anywhere near the same page. However, based on what you have posted,
you obviously are not stupid, and have a firm grasp of the problem.

First, this is WAY too complicated for a journalist to understand. It
has to be in a 2 to 3 paragraph, EASILY understood form, or it will
zoom over the head of most of the media types.

Cleaning up and refining my two paragraphs that describe my opinion on
SS is probably the best approach. I was going to sleep reading the
stuff I snipped, although it did describe what must happen.

And if we want the politicians to "get it" we must present this in a
clear one page letter.

Suggestions?
