He and Judd Gregg tried to start the Commission, but Congress said "No thanks!". They tried again, and Congress said "No way!". Then, once it was dead, Obama picked it up and said "Hey! Great idea!" and appointed the two single greatest haters of Social Security on our planet to run the thing.

It was at that moment that I knew were were destined for big trouble.

I don't think Heidi Heitkamp will be quite as beholden to rigid budget ideology as Conrad was.
