Corzine Jumps The Gun

Jon Corzine must have the inside scoop on a Bush proposal to reform Social Security. To our knowledge the President has yet to layout his plan for reforming the program. Well, we suppose it really doesn’t matter what President Bush might propose, Corzine has his canned criticisms all set to go. We wonder if the “Wall Street tycoon” has any proposals of his own or if he just prefers to release critical statements to the press?

"The administration's plan represents a long, slow and painful death for Social Security," said Sen. Jon Corzine, D-N.J. "These cuts would undermine the reason we have Social Security in the first place, which is to help people maintain a reasonable and dignified standard of living in retirement. Under President Bush's plan, seniors would suffer much sharper drops in their income when they retired than they do today, and the promise of Social Security from its founding would be compromised forever."
