A glass of sherry or just a cup a’ grog?
Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R) of New York tells the Poughkeepsie Journal he’s skeptical about privatization but thinks “everything should be on table to examine from stem to stern.”
So Sherry’s still a Caucus man, just not Loud and Proud.
The article also gives a good run-down of Social Security politics in the state’s dense archipelago of Republican districts.
Some other highlights.
Rep. Sue Kelly (R) says “I think most people agree that Social Security needs to be looked at. People are hung up on that one piece [personal savings accounts]. But I know of six or seven plans that senators and House members are talking about. It’s not just private accounts.”
That’s great. A real profile in courage.
And then there’s Rep. Jim Walsh (R), our New York project for the week. A candidate for the Caucus or still hanging tough for W?
