Lew has a great column today about the Republican Social Security fiasco. I think there may be one silver lining. Many Republicans are bemoaning Bush’s tactical decision to attack Social Security reform before tax reform; they say he should have first tried to reform the tax code, and now, if he fails at Social Security reform, he may have used up his political capital and also fail at tax reform. To my mind, if a Bush fails to reform the tax code, that ain’t all bad!
