NEW YORK – For an issue that many in the media are calling dead, the June 14, 2005, Social Security debate at City University of New York was quite lively. Supporters of reform warned of a situation ready to “implode” and called for ownership while opponents defended Social Security as the “most successful program in the nation’s history.”

The event brought together leading supporters and opponents of reform to discuss what Pat Toomey called “the biggest government program in the history of the world.” Toomey, president of the Club for Growth, led off the debate in front of an audience of more than 200 by posing the question, “What to do about it?” That set in motion a discussion that included most of the major talking points from both sides of the reform argument.

You are right in that Cain in terrific, and tells it like it is. I supported him in his Georgia race. Too bad he missed out on that one. Something great is in his future.

If you haven't read his book "They Think You're Stupid", then you should.

It's utterly amazing that someone who wants to enter politics

1) writes this concisely and clearly;

2) has such good ideas.

It'd almost be worth moving back to Georgia to vote for him.
