Krugman and the Social Security Issue
Has anyone seen Paul Krugman on any of the major news channels talking about Social Security? I think he is someone the Democratic Party should try to get out to talk about the fact that Social Security is not actually in a crisis.

2. He's on vacation
But he did do a scathing editorial (can't remember what day last week) debunking the myth of SS going broke.

3. Yes, it was great. There's no "crisis" in Social Security. There is one
however, in the current budget and deficit and unending stream of deficits to come.

If * cared about economic crises, he'd take care of the one he created now and not worry about a potential one 40-50 years in the future.
