From the
Boston Globe:
Tufts Health Plan chief executive James Roosevelt Jr. is a candidate to
run the Social Security Administration, the program his grandfather
signed into law in 1935, according to people briefed on the matter....
He helped lead a review of the Social Security Administration as part of
President Obama’s transition team, and previously served as associate
commissioner for retirement policy for the agency under President
Clinton. ...
A number of lawmakers are backing Roosevelt. US Representative Michael
Capuano, Democrat of Somerville, said in a statement, “Jim’s health care
expertise as well as his Massachusetts roots and previous work with
Social Security make him an excellent choice to oversee this vital
program.” ...
Said [Michael] Tanner [of the Cato Institute], “He’s been campaigning
for the job forever.”
Let me guess. We see a newspaper article tomorrow promoting Earl Pomeroy.
