Two more articles for S4 published today.
The first talks about Social Security and the House leadership race.
"For example, regarding Social Security he writes, 'I believe that if we as a Republican Congress can pass fair, responsible reforms... we'll be rewarded at election time.' But Boehner is silent on what reform he really has in mind. Is it personal accounts favored by the House Republican Conference, or some sort of tax hike that the heart of the GOP is opposed to? Boehner and Blunt need to come out with a more detailed plan to share with their colleagues before they vote on the next leader."
The second was a letter to the editor published in New Jersey's Record Newspaper.
"The letter writer seems to wonder why we 'obsess' over paying his bills. It may be because while we will finance his fine retirement lifestyle, the future of our economy is going as bankrupt as the Social Security system we are paying into.
The letter writer suggests our generation should 'economize.' But our generation, like his, was raised to believe that each generation should do a little better than the one before. Unlike the letter writer, our generation wants to accomplish this American goal by standing on the shoulders of ownership and choice, not by holding down our children and grandchildren."
