Graham Says Bush Will Build Support for Social Security Plan

Bloomberg said Graham indicated he would present a plan within the next couple of weeks that provides the outline for a compromise with Democrats that would allow workers who earn under $30,000 to receive the same benefit increases they're entitled to under current law. Workers earning more than $30,000 would have their increases tied to inflation, which would reduce their overall benefits, he said. ``You're putting that benefit burden on people who can afford it the most.''

TalkingPointsMemo indicated the group consists of Baucus (D), Carper (D), Collins (R), Conrad (D), Feinstein (D), Graham (R), Grassley (R), Gregg (R), Lieberman (D), Lincoln (D), Ben Nelson (D), and Bill Nelson (D).
