Bloggers are reacting to the vote in the House of Representatives to prohibit any money being spent to pay the salary of Andrew Biggs, a proponent of privatizing Social Security, who was given a recess appointment as Deputy Commissioner of Social Security.
Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute is appalled by the "partisan idiocy" in Congress. Matthew Yglesias of The Atlantic Online labels the vote "excellent news." The Corner blog at the National Review called the vote a "stunt." Donald Luskin on Poor and Stupid cannot understand why being an advocate for privatizing Social Security should disqualify Biggs. Dave Budge calls it "crap" and a "dangerous precedent."
