"I don’t think I agree right now there is a big push by anybody to set up personal accounts," says Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. Apparently he hasn't spoken to the president or the Social Security chief in the House.

Grassley's point is that it's wrong for Democrats to discuss Social Security during the congressional campaigns this year.

The idea, I think, is that it's not fair for anyone to discuss this until the phase-out bill comes up for a vote.
