The Senate Finance Committee is holding a hearing tomorrow on the following nominations to the Social Security Advisory Board:
- Henry Aaron (wants to cut Social Security benefits for high wage earners)
- Lanhee Chen (Romney campaign aide who has harshly criticized President Obama's plans for Social Security)
- Alan Cohen (long time Congressional aide who has mostly worked on budget issues)
They already had a hearing. This is the vote to pass the nominees to the full Senate.
ReplyDeleteThe parenthetical summation of these individual's entire careers is pretty lame, obviously meant to be perjorative and is largely inaccurate.

ReplyDeleteI wish someone would cite one significant accomplishment of the SSAB that justifies its budget. Just one, please. Perhaps this might be a good time to dissolve the SSAB altogether. Put the money spent on bloated salaries, extensive travel, and high overhead elsewhere, where it might add some value.
