Rep. John Mica (R) of Florida phones in to the Associate Editor of The St. Augustine Record from his phase-out bunker.
Mica, who is holding no meetings on Social Security this week or apparently even in his district this week, tells Margo Pope that “the details are sketchy,” and he’ll wait for more before taking a position. As for private accounts, said Mica from his undisclosed location, “I am concerned about making any investments (of Social Security) funds in speculative funds.”
Apparently he was even more concerned two years ago when he responded to an AARP questionnaire by pledging: “I do not support replacing any part of the current Social Security system with individual accounts.â
Mica’s district has the 12th highest numbers of retirees of any in the country and he wouldn’t even show his face in his district last week.
