Disability benefits may not be safe

The Associatd Press via the Boston Globe reports that "Disability benefits may not be safe from the across-the-board cuts that are likely in President Bush's proposal to allow personal investment accounts in the Social Security program."

"Retirement and disability benefits are calculated using the same formula, so if future promised retirement benefits are cut, then disability benefits also would be reduced -- unless the program is somehow separated."

Probably doesn't matter to Bush anyway. The only people be seems to care about - the ones who benefit most from his tax cuts - probably saved enough money to cover an extended disability.
