New Acting Deputy Commissioner

My understanding is that Jason Fichtner has been appointed as the Acting Deputy Commissioner of Social Security, replacing Andrew Biggs. Fichtner has been working as the Associate Commissioner for Retirement Policy, which had been Biggs' old job.

I could guess that it would be impossible for Fichtner to be in the same job that Biggs had been in without sharing many of Biggs' belief, but I do not know. At this point in the Bush Administration, I am not sure that it matters.
