Social Security Reform is Retired

Well, apparrantly there isn't anything the GOP can't learn as long as you bang a sledgehammer into their collective heads for about two years. People don't like their ideas of privatizing social security. Bush can't sell a lie that it will be better, because even he has to admit it won't be. It will cost more, and you'll get paid less! What a great sell!

The story is from Roll Call, The Newspaper of Capital Hill:

Fearful that tackling Social Security reform could cripple his party in the 2006 elections, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (N.Y.) plans to recommend to his fellow leaders that they shelve the issue for the remainder of the 109th Congress.
