Earlier, I looked at the Senate 600 days out. Now the House joins us with a vote.

WASHINGTON - Democrats forced the House's first vote of the year on Social Security (news - web sites) Wednesday, but wary Republicans declined to take a stand on the personal accounts at the core of President Bush (news - web sites)'s plan for revamping the Depression-era program.

The 230-202 vote against taking up the measure came as Bush told reporters he does not intend to submit formal legislation on the subject.[...]

The Democratic amendment said money from the Social Security trust fund should not be used to establish the private investment accounts Bush favors.

Republicans refused to even consider the question.

Bawk, bok, bok, bok, bok

Great day for the GOP...

Bush twice acknowledged during a White House news conference that "personal accounts do not solve the issue" of Social Security's long-term financing.
