It should be never-ending tirade about it until 2008 elections.

"While President Bush's budget calls for 141 programs to be cut or killed, Newsweek's Allan Sloan discovered that "with no fanfare whatsoever, Bush stuck a big Social Security privatization plan in the federal budget proposal." Plus: Senate Finance Committee chairman accuses the administration of seeking to end "a pittance for widows and widowers."

that we know that we'll win and they'll lose. Been there. Done that.

They should be all over it.

3. I imagine the DLC is already planning to go along

Some people on DU are entirely too naive.

The "leadership" of our party, by and large, haven't a clue what to do except ask for more polls and focus groups.
