Who's Plan is it Anyway?

Senator John Kerry's new ad claims "Bush has a plan to cut Social Security benefits by 30 to 45 percent."

There are some problems with that. First, it's false. The President has no such plan. It's one of three possible "reform models" a bipartisan commission cooked up in 2001. Second, the plan Kerry's talking about only slows down the growth of benefits, and only for future retirees. (FactCheck.org)
