We thought Blanche Lincoln had left the Fainthearted Faction. <$NoAd$>But it seems like she’s not quite ready to give up her membership card after all.
This from the Associated Press today …
As the Bush Administration readies to bring Social Security to the forefront, U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln said that she doesn’t support allowing the system’s dollars to be invested in private accounts.
“I do not think you can divert payroll taxes into private investment accounts,” Lincoln said. “It jeopardizes the solvency of the program for current retirees.”
However, Arkansas’ senior senator also said that she is not shutting out the idea entirely because that, “is not being fair to the problem.”
Blanche Lincoln: Iffy on Social Security, but fair to the problem? Why do Democrats in the Fainthearted Faction feel it necessary to be fair to a policy choice they claim already to have decided is a bad idea?
