From the Washington Times:
President Bush will again pursue Social Security reform next year and has been frustrated by Democrats' unwillingness to address ensuring the entitlement's long-term viability, his chief economic adviser said yesterday.
"This president is not going to give up on Social Security," said Allan Hubbard, director of the president's National Economic Council.
White House aides said Mr. Bush was stung by his failure to enact Social Security reform this year -- after he made it his top legislative priority -- and will not decide how much political capital to devote to the issue until he gets closer to next month's State of the Union address.
