Bush hits a double to start big rally
G. W.'s press conference last night took some of the initiative away from the Democrats who have made substantial inroads over the past few weeks in slowing the President' Social Security plans. The President put a proposal on the table that was carefully crafted to resonate with the electorate. The idea of graduated benefits makes a certain amount of sense. More benefits go to those who need them. What could be wrong with that? I am unclear at this point of any other details, those are what appear in the NY Times today. It is a good play. I didn't see or hear any mention of private accounts, which the public doesn't seem to like right now. The Republicans are poised to use this initiative to head behind Congressional doors. We shall then see where this proposal goes. In light of past experience I would not think that something this simple will be all of the plan.
