Yes. Actually, overnight they changed it. It was not going to take affect for 5 years. In other words, this chart says, marriage penalty relief for middle-income taxpayers was going to be delayed until 2006; it did not do anything for 5 years. Now it has been changed and moved up 1 year. So it does not do anything for 4 years in terms of marriage penalty relief. What we are saying is, let's do it next year. Let's make it a priority.

Social Security's financial challenge affects nearly our entire society, and the solutions will require a broad-based approach.
I wish I could look you in the eye and say, you know, if we just had the will, we could reverse this, and we could go back to a time when defined benefit plans were on the increase. I do not think that is in the cards.
All the talk in the world doesn't matter if you don't actually get something done in the real world.
