Broder

David Broder writes:

Bennett attacks the problem in two ways: First, by adopting the proposal already embraced by Bush and by many Democrats to calculate future Social Security benefits on a sliding scale, depending on the income level of recipients.

I challenge Broder, or anyone else for that matter, to find me many Democrats in favor of that idea. I've seen nothing, absolutely nothing that suggests strong Democratic support for Bennett's proposal.

In fact, this CBS/NY Times poll (pdf) shows that more people in this country think the Bennett plan is a bad idea as opposed to a good one. And I doubt it's Democrats giving a big boost to those good idea numbers.

Nice of Broder to paint the wrong picture to try and boost the Bennett plan.
