It looks like Rep. Gene Taylor of Mississippi really is on the way out of the Faction.

In this morning’s Sun Herald, Taylor’s policy director Brian Martin is quoted as saying, “Congressman Taylor doesn’t support forming private accounts. Social Security is in a better financial position than anything else in the government. It actually collects more money than it spends.”

We assume Rep. Taylor is still overseas (see last night’s post). And we’d like to see a statement from the man himself before striking his name from the Faction roll. But it seems now like it’s just a matter of time.
