At a meeting last week with the PCCC, Majority Leader Harry Reid makes himself crystal clear:
"As long as I'm the Majority Leader, I'm going to do everything within my legislative powers to prevent privatizing or eliminating Social Security," Reid said. "I'll simply say it's off the table."
Harry Reid has been spot on when it comes to Social Security. Not only does he make it clear that Social Security is not causing the deficit, but he is making clear he will not be just another Senator on the matter. He will be the Majority Leader and use the powers he has to stand strong for Social Security.
Memo to Axelrod: you should hire Harry Reid's entire campaign and political staff for the re-elect.
