...Senate bill written by Democrats Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York and Robert Kerrey of Nebraska would allow workers to divert 2% into investment accounts but would lower guaranteed benefits to what could be financed out of the remaining 10.4%. Feldstein has an even better idea: keep present tax and benefit rates but have the government deposit into individual accounts an additional 2% of each worker's earnings, up to the prescribed annual taxable limit.

In other words, a stimulus that would cause one person severe pain would be only a minor annoyance to another. The point here...
...Harvard affiliates account for almost 10 percent of OurSquare's membership, coming in just behind Penn and ahead of Cornell, Princeton and Columbia. If you want to join the thriving on-line "100 percent private" elite, don't delay--the OurSquare folks plan to "close the community" once 5 percent of their target market joins up, leaving a scant 75,000 spots available. Reserve yours before you're doomed to be an on-line commoner...
