House GOP Leadership Diverging on Soc. Sec.
So reports The Hill's E-news this week.
House GOP leaders are divided about the best way to address Social Security's solvency issues this year, one prominent House Republican told The Hill today.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) does not want to force members to vote on the issue, the member said, while Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) is more intent on scheduling a vote for the latest bill to create private accounts from Social Security taxes, which is sponsored by Rep. Jim McCrery (R-La.) but has yet to be introduced.
Members are reluctant to embrace the plan and have been hesitant to make public statements about the legislation, much less record a vote on it.
