All you do is remove the extraneous, superfluous words that * throws in when he's stumbling over a point. For example, on Friday, Feb. 4th, he said:
"Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to what has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red. Okay, better? I'll keep working on it."
Confused already? All you do is edit out his meaningless extra words, and the message becomes clear:
"Because the benefits are price increases. There's a series that are being considered. And cost affecting personal accounts, the idea is to get more. Does that make any sense? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's things that cause the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we opposed wage increases. There is a red effect. In other words, how the promised benefits will help the red. Okay, better? keep working."
