A little perspective is in order

Dirty Harry at Stranded on Blue Islands provides a little perspective on the Social Security debate.

"A bold move to put the future of the massive retirement program at the top of his agenda," says The Washington Post.

"They still must resolve an emotional ideological debate over whether the government should continue to take money from the working-age generation and transfer it to retirees . . . or whether Social Security should be transformed so that individuals would have more freedom and responsibility to save for their own retirements," says the New York Times.

George W. Bush last night? No, William Jefferson Clinton in 1998.
