Another Social Security Commission...Uggh

Viking Pundit is very skeptical that another bipartisan Social Security commission will do much good. I agree.

Frankly, until SS benefits are sharply reduced, Americans won't care. And members of Congress, who have their own retirement plans, also don't care. But the quote of the day goes to Michael Graham, conservative talk show host:

When Democrats began celebrating wildly the fact that they have done nothing to rescue Social Security, they handed Bush an opportunity to step away from the text and point out the partisan cynicism of celebrating failure. My comment would have been "Remember that applause 13 years from now when Social Security goes broke."
