Biggs Nomination Rejected

President Bush had nominated Andrew Biggs to become the Deputy Commissioner of Social Security. The New York Times reports that Senator Max Baucus, the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has announced that his Committee will not hold a hearing on Biggs' nomination, nor consider it in any way. Biggs is currently the Associate Commissioner for Retirement Policy at Social Security, a position that was probably created just for him. Biggs is a huge proponent of privatizing Social Security.
