Did the Social Security Commission he co-chaired ever finish their work?

I think their conclusion was: Raise Taxes.

Just another 'Rat with a drinking problem.

Knock it off. He was also the same Rat that in the 60's discussed the problems that would occur as a result of single-parent families, etc.

Moynihan was a proponent of partial social security privatization.

May I add that Daniel Patrick Moynihan, as Nixon's Ambassador to the UN, told the UN to its collective face that the genuinely freedom-loving nations of the UN could caucus in a telephone booth? Nothing wrong with that analysis then or now.

May he enjoy a speedy and full recovery! Our prayers also are with him.

Funny you should mention drinking problems...

I met Senator M once in the lobby of a well know hotel in London in the mid eighties. He was hammered (smashed)!! I think he said he was waiting for a cab. I pointed out the cabs are outside, senator. Oh yes he replied and stumbled forward.

I thought " And he is one of our Senators!"

"Just another 'Rat with a drinking problem."

No you do a diservice to this website and to The Good Senator. He is a liberal but one of the last few of his kind, an honest liberal!

He has never pulled punches on his ideology and is always honest when he debated!

I disagree with his view of government but he always was honest about costs! Not near what you will find in the Democrat party today!

He's a MUCH better man (And I can only assume American) than you based on these comments of yours. You're disgusting. Not EVERYTHING needs to be partisan propaganda around here.

Get a freaking clue!!!
