thinking he meant what he said the first time - no cuts to SS

Funny, before this time, we would chastise people for flip flopping on events/positions from long before. For him, it may be just a week before.

Really odd to me, being in the business world. Most all of the great executives I have known, never ever shoot off the hip. They never saying anything they aren't sure about or haven't had double and triple checked.

You wonder how he got by in construction/development. did he say "Make that building 20 floors tall." one day and then "make that building 40 stories" the next day.
