He also suggests that raising the retirement age is a good idea (impliedly because he has been able to carry on as a Senator into his 70s). Given the amount of blue collar workers in Alabama, that probably is not going to be popular. Still, his unequivocal rejection of Bush's privatization scheme is warming my heart. posted by Thomas at 12:31 AM 0 comments Post a Comment HOME
