LUSKIN rips Kinsley on Social Security. Quotable:
Why would Sullivan think Kinsley is asking for discussion by bloggers or anyone else when he starts by saying "discussion is pointless" and positions his own view as "mathematically certain"? Also, note Kinsley's use of the word "privatization" -- as though the proposal on the table were to eradicate any role for government in Social Security, and turn the whole thing over to Halliburton. The issue here is personalization -- individually owned and controlled personal investment accounts within the context of a government-mandated and government-operated program. Well, let's just write that off as the way [leftists] talk, and proceed anyway.
