<< When liberalism was ascendant, from the 1930s through the 1970s, Democrats permanently altered the face of government.>>

Yes. Unfortunately, they established the welfare state. And the country has been the poorer for it ever since.

<< Private Social Security accounts aren't a radical idea and have been tried with success other places in the world. They have great appeal to young people, who correctly see that Social Security won't otherwise be there for them, yet they don't threaten the benefits of older Americans. The transition costs have to be accounted for, but this is mainly a question of budget math and political judgment.>>

Please tell all that to the Democrats, who will successfully block passage of any such true reform. With the effective help of McCain, Hagel, and Thomas.
