House GOP Proposes Social Security Plan
Bush's Private Accounts Would Be Scaled Back

By Mike Allen and Jonathan Weisman, Page A01

The Washington Post leads with House Republican leaders embracing another Social Security plan. This one would use the surplus, at least while it still exists, to fund small personal accounts. The plan, as the Post puts it, would "do nothing to remedy" Social Security's coming fiscal issues. Yesterday's Journal said the plan's chances of passing are something close to zilch; instead the proposal appears to be a sort of sacrificial lamb intended to give Republicans an "exit strategy."
