Politicians on both sides of the aisle have recognized PRAs as an effective, if not essential, tool in dealing with Social Security’s problems. The reason for this bipartisan recognition is simple: the problems inherent in the government’s largest entitlement program are not political in nature.
Politicians opposing Bush’s plan have been challenged to submit their own plans for reform, and the bipartisan panel’s recent proposals should provide a good foundation toward that end. Because Social Security reform is an issue that, as you note, is not going away, each member of Congress should have a clear plan for dealing with the looming shortfall.
The Social Security program worked exceptionally well for the last 70 years, but changing demographics, bad accounting, and cowardly politicians are threatening to derail the system. PRAs are an excellent way to switch tracks while maintaining the program’s effectiveness.
