Rebel in the Ranks (from Time magazine) re: Social Security

[Dulcinea]

-snip-

Speaking two days before Bush's Inauguration, Thomas dismissed the central part of Bush's proposal for reforming Social Security, saying personal-investment accounts "don't really solve the problem."

He then tossed a few political bombs, musing that Congress might link retirement benefits to gender because women live longer than men, or might let blue-collar workers retire earlier because "there are certain occupations in which you're pretty used up by 65." He rounded out his comments by declaring that the politics of the House and Senate would soon render the President's plan a "dead horse" even before Bush announces its details.

Unfortunately for the White House, Thomas is not just another colorful character on the Hill; he is the most important player on Social Security in the House.
