According to the Palm Beach Post Democratic Congressional candidate Joe Klein will "soon offer a Social Security plan of his own".
I applaud Mr. Klein for having the courage to step up and address the issue. We're not going to move this issue forward until people put their cards on the table, and that means writing their own bills.
So what does his proposal look like? As of today, he hasn't released anything, but we can throw out a guess based on the last line of the news article:
While Klein has not proposed his own Social Security plan, he has said he opposes privatization, any benefit cuts or any plan that adds to the national debt.
Since the only three options for fixing Social Security are raise taxes, adjust benefits, or change the structure of the system, we can only assume that the bulk of his plan restores solvency by raising taxes.
We're certainly looking forward to reading his bill...
