From the Wall Street Journal:
On a conference call with reporters Wednesday where he generally blasted Republican budget proposals, a top Obama budget official said the administration would have to take a close look at the GOP proposal on Social Security, and hinted that the White House would have more to say on the issue soon.
Rob Nabors, deputy director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, reiterated the administration’s view that the most urgent budget problem in the entitlements area is not Social Security but the soaring cost of health care ...
But Nabors added that administration officials would spend some time “looking at” the GOP proposal on Social Security, and promised that the public will be seeing more from the administration on the issue as the budget process unfolds. ...
How long does it take to say, "Drop dead"? See how easy that is? In contrast to the direct approach I favor, O's people are maddeningly evasive. Have to say I'm starting to drum my fingers. You know, they could leak something about how they're "close to releasing new increased earnings tax caps", or even "considering abolition of tax caps" for FICA. That would be fun.
ReplyDeleteBaloney. At least Obama's team makes an effort, the GOP does nothing but posture, issue paranoid dire warnings and rant. The Republicans don't even make a pretense of working toward bipartisan solutions. I predict they will pay for it again in the next election.
