Title: Dean is falling apart (they say the memory's the first thing to go)
Post by: Trauma-san on November 06, 2003, 03:21:49 PM
In Tuesday's democrat party debate

Dennis Kucinich: "My good friend, Mr. Dean, has said that he'd move the retirement age to 68. One time he talked about moving it to 70."

[…]

Howard Dean: "When we first looked to the rules for this debate, we were told if anybody mentioned our name, that automatically gave us a minute.

"I'm not going to go back and ask you to change the rules, but I think I'll take 20 seconds just to tell everybody that I have never favored Social Security retirement at the age of 70, nor do I favor one of 68."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In another Democrat Debate, Aug. 5th, of 2003, Dean said the following

Sen. Bob Packwood (R-Ore.): "I've said many times that I think we should raise the retirement age about the year 2015—raise it by that time to about age 70."

Howard Dean: "I am very pleased to hear Bob Packwood because I absolutely agree we need to reduce the—I mean, to increase the retirement age. There will be cuts and losses of some benefits, but I believe that Sen. Packwood is on exactly the right track."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

6 Weeks ago, Dean told NBC in an interview

'I would also entertain taking the retirement age up to 68.' "


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1995, He told CNN Crossfire

"The Way to Balance the budget, is to cut Social Security, move the retirement age to 70, cut defense, Medicare, and veterans pensions; it would be tough, but we could do it"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Howard Dean, Tuesday Night - "I'm not going to go back and ask you to change the rules, but I think I'll take 20 seconds just to tell everybody that I have never favored Social Security retirement at the age of 70, nor do I favor one of 68."

he's talking about nothing. politicians rule at that...

if everything he said there is true...

he's saying he'd talk about taking it to 68 but he aint happy about it but not 70.. but that in the future he expects it to go up to 70 (possibly because of anticipated better health?)

got it? :)  


sonds like he needs to talk more about it to make his mind up.. so expect more quirky quotes.. lol

All politicians go back and forth on issues.
