This isn't accurate, right?

After all the talk about "bi-partisanship" in  general and Judd Gregg in particular, you're not going to let him anywhere near a Social Security "reform" group, are you?

Because that is the LAST place to look for a bipartisan stamp. The Republican Party wants to eliminate Social Security and turn all that FICA money over to the stockbrokers. That's true even of the so-called moderates.

If you decide that cuts in benefits or extensions of the retirement age needed, the absolute worst thing you can do is get a Republican blessing of that conclusion. It would be like getting George Steinbrenner to say how great a Red Sox trade is.
