Instead, Bush is revived and ready to take another shot at overhauling Social Security, plus take up tax reform.

Tax reform yes, Social Security no. The administration can't win on SS. It is a waste of political capital to continue that fight (in fact a mistake to begin it at all, but no one's perfect). Tax reform and other growth oriented policies can win. Bush should concentrate on that and the war.

How about a flat tax, and getting rid of the IRS?

Social Security is going to be a real big problem and real soon. The Administration is just staking out a position for the republicans right away so there won't be any misunderstandings about who made this mess and who was trying to fix it.
