Baucus Denounces Biggs Recess Appointment

From the New York Times:

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, denounced Bush for making Andrew Biggs, a leading proponent of privatizing the Social Security retirement program, deputy commissioner of Social Security.

``Prospects for getting real Social Security reform anytime soon just took a big hit,'' Baucus said. ``This administration is clearly not serious about leaving behind the failed schemes of the past and moving on to constructive discussions about the future of Social Security.''
