The whole Dem. rah fest over SS reform is a smoke screen.
Heard Rockefeller this morning say that if 1/3 of the tax cuts were pulled back from permanency, (to pay for transition costs) he might be able to support it.
The Dummies are really after the tax cuts.

My bad. Just re-heard that interview and Rockefeller said that "carving out the top 1/3 of the tax cuts would make SS totally solvent." Still, it looks like the tax cuts are the true target.

Add to that the column by Bob Kerrey (NE-D) supporting the Social Security overhaul. After Bush does the seven-state trip to Red States represented by Dem Senators, the collars in the Senate chambers are going to get even tighter.
