“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

"Private" Parlance

CBS Marketwatch (currently owned by the Wall street Journal, so maybe it should have been expected):
Snow called the Social Security system "unsustainable" in its current form, and emphasized that personal savings accounts "should be part of Social Security reform." Some Democrats oppose the idea of allowing workers to put some of their payroll taxes into a so-called "privatized" Social Security plan.

"So-called" because that's exactly what it is is, a privatized Social Security. Just goes to show that Robert Schroder, who penned the piece, proudly displays his White House English diploma above his desk.

More to come in the daily round-up.
