“I think that most of the things that we read are pretty accurate and pretty correct. But every now and then I think what we read, while it may be accurate and correct, doesn't tell the entire story. I think this morning, if you look at the papers around the city, most of the headlines that I saw were accurate in the sense that they talked about Social Security and the condition of Social Security. The stories in the press this morning dealt with that. That was all based on the recent Social Security report. It talked about the good news dealing with Social Security. I look at the headlines in the Washington Post, 'Forecast Brightens for Social Security.' The Wall Street Journal headline was 'Economy gives Social Security a Reprieve.' A New York Times article, 'Surging Economy is Lifting Social Security, U.S. finds.' The headline in the USA Today was 'Social Security Wins Three-Year Reprieve.' All of that is very accurate. All of it is very, very true.”
