MARCO! POL-NO!
LOL, very witty of the author to think of this analogy. Amazing to see a piece like this in the MSM.
Although, like everyone else, she overlooks the real reason "Hillary Care" failed, because the plan stunk. If Bush and co. come up with a lousy plan on Soc. Sec. it will fail too; if they come up with a good one it may well get enacted. And she is right, the Dems really look esp. dim suddenly seeing NO PROBLEM with Soc. Sec., nobody, but nobody is buying that angle.
It wasn't the author.
