• Sen. Harry Reid Confirms: There Is No Democratic Social Security Plan

  "I just called Harry Reid's office. He's the Democratic leader in the Senate. I asked if there was a Democratic plan for Social Security. The aide said Reid is against President Bush's plan. I said I was aware what Reid was against but was interested in what he was for. This question completely flustered the aide. She alternated between saying that there was no problem, that she did not know where the Democratic plan was, that I was wrong to say that the Democrats had no plan even though an aide in the Leader's office wasn't aware of one, and that Reid opposed President Bush's plan (that was the most frequently mentioned part of the Democratic position)."

Then this update as a plan was found:

• FLASH: DEMOCRATIC SOCIAL SECURITY PLAN DISCOVERED!

  Having no luck with Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's office, I tried Chuck Schumer's office to find the elusive Democratic plan for Social Security. I spoke with a wonderful staffer who was very forthright and frank about this issue. She pointed me to the Diamond-Orszag Plan, which, as explained to me, mimics the 1983 Greenspan Commission. (somebody might want to let the Democratic leader in the Senate know that he has a plan)

The plan calls for tax increases and benefit cuts! ....Indeed!
