I haven't seen much coming out of Congress myself.

Today's Washington Times:  

Social Security on back burner

Some Republican lawmakers say President Bush should ease up on his calls for Social Security reform and focus on other topics this election year, depriving Democrats of the opportunity to claim that the administration wants to "privatize" the program.

But Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican, said Democrats would have tried to use the issue this year anyway, and he appreciates Mr. Bush's continual calls for reform.    "I don't think it's a mistake," he said. "He's trying to do something constructive, and [Democrats] are just trying to obstruct."

Apparently DeMint is still on target and we'd do well to encoruage his support of Bush's entitlement reform.   IMHO if we throw up our hands in helpless complaining then we're just helping the Democrats.

LOL, fine.

However, I will continue with my advocacy of tax reform as as my primary focus myself.


Good day to you.
