GOP Digging a Hole on Social Security
Robert Schlesinger, U.S. News
Happy birthday to Social Security, which turns 75 today. Over the last few days, Democrats have keyed on the anniversary in their latest attempt to reframe the battle for control of Congress, highlighting the desire on the part of a number of Republicans to retire or revamp the venerable, beloved program in favor of something privatized.It's not hard to see why Democrats have turned their messaging focus to Social Security. On one hand the economic news remains dismal, President Obama's approval ratings keep sliding, signs point to a big November for the GOP.
