Rep. Kevin Brady (R) of Texas gets an earful in the district: “His two trips in Montgomery County Tuesday encountered many people who aren’t in favor of significantly altering the program, especially when it comes to diverting a portion of the current payroll taxes into private accounts.”
To his credit, Brady is one of the ones who’s actually holding public meetings on Social Security this week. Here’s where they’re being held.
Says Brady, at the end of the article: “I think there will have to be some sort of compromise. That’s why I’m traveling around listening to everyone’s plan. Sometimes you have to do what’s right even if it’s not popular … I want to hear the president’s plan, I want to hear the AARP plan, I want to hear the Democrats’ plan. We’ll probably all have to get off the cable TV stations for five minutes and talk to each other to work it out.”
Can’t we all just get along?
