The administration's point man on Social Security in the House, Rep. Bill Thomas (R-CA), recently suggested in an interview that Republicans may try tying Social Security benefits to the race or gender of the recipients.

2. Apparently not familiar with the Constitution

A common malady among Republicans these days.

Perhaps the Republican caucus should schedule some Constitution 101 classes.

How anyone can think that that's ok is beyond me.

5. Tell me if I'm wrong

but I think the idea is to tie benefits to life expectancy. Shorter=higher yearly benefits and longer=lower.:shrug:

I don't know if this is a good idea, but I think this is what he meant.
