When you are a big states rights supporter, you can be perceived as more moderate on any issue you wish, just by saying that particular decision should be left to the people of such and such state to decide.
But that's the problem. Perry has argued this about SS but it's not going to wash with the Indies. If SS was administered by the states, what would happen to pensioners in say, Mississippi, is that stateddecided it didn't have enough money to pay SS? Would they move to CA? I think Perry dug himself a hole on this argument, and it's going to be used against him.

Perry wants personal savings accounts, which is the basically the same platform Bush won on 2 times, but was never able to push through.
