Thompson spokesman Jeff Sadosky responded to a couple of follow
ups to last night’s debate:
1. Is his indexing of social security benefits to inflation a
concrete proposal? “Yes, switching to indexing the adjustment to
prices from wages could actually make up more than the entire
anticipated shortfall in Social Security, depending on how it is
implemented.” Does he rule out tax increases? “Yes.”
2. What about the need to call in the attorneys on Iran? “Senator
Thompson made it known last night that when it comes to our
national security, it won’t be his attorneys that he will first sit
down with, it will be his generals.”
