On Social Security Reform
One of the less remarked on casualties of 9/11 and the war on terror is any progress on a number of issues that GWB looked like he might tackle (e.g. social security and tort reform). While the war is far from over, and I have had mixed feelings about some part of it (e.g. here), the infrastructure seems to be in place to fight the war while also tackling some new domestic issues.
Jane Galt, over at Asymmetrical Information, has a nice post about new momentum in the Bush administration to tackle social security. It is unlikely that Bush could draw any more hatred than he already has, so he might be the right person to finally grab the third rail.
UPDATE #1
Marginal Revolution tackles social security and links to other good sources.
