On the Means-test Proposal

Professor Bainbridge has a very likely take on President Bush's new means-test proposal for Social Security.

If I'm right, the nice thing about Bush's plan is that it forces the Dems to make a tough choice: Do they publicly disavow their adherence to soak the rich progressivity as a solution to income inequality or do they risk weakening long term political support for their signature program?

In other words, its a trap. Bainbridge is no liberal. But he is likely correct on this one. The Democrats can and will avoid it, just as Bainbridge says.
