Fred to Announce Social Security Plan

The Palm Beach Post was present when Thompson announced that a more detailed Social Security plan will be announced next Monday.

Saying he's taking a political risk, Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson said Monday he'll unveil a Social Security proposal soon that includes private accounts and slows the growth of benefit increases for future retirees.

This is the kind of boldness that Fred has hinted at since before he got into the race. I'm looking forward to seeing the details.
