Bill Thomas is walking right into a trap. The Social Security debate has been focused on the Senate, because that's where the votes will be the closest. House hotheads are worried about next year's elections, though, and they've decided to proceed without the Senate. They are like rabbits who panic at the sight of an approaching car. And with Bush embracing big Social Security cuts with the Pozen plan too! Very bad error! They'll be decimated at the polls in November, 2006!
After months of little evident progress on the issue, House Republicans said they intended to have legislation before the Ways and Means Committee by June. "It won't just be a Social Security bill. It will be a retirement bill," said Rep. Bill Thomas, the chairman.
