SENSING BLOOD in the water, with the falling public support for George W. Bush's Social Security reform plan, the DNC is stepping up its advertising campaign against the plan.
I would be curious to know if the recent - and highly unfortunate - senate passage of the bankruptcy reform bill is contributing to the public's increasing negativity toward Social Security reform. Could the public, perceiving an elimination of the financial safety net for some of the most unfortunate via bankruptcy reform, become increasingly skittish about any kind of serious tinkering with Social Security?
