Delay talks approvingly about Ryan reform bill
During a briefing with reporters yesterday, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) gave an unprompted nod to Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) plan to reform Social Security.
Responding to a question about solvency and the creation of personal retirement accounts, DeLay said, “Paul Ryan’s bill makes Social Security solvent.”
DeLay’s praise is notable because it marks the second time House leadership has made a direct reference to the bill. House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) mentioned Ryan’s bill twice during a discussion of Social Security reform on Fox News the Sunday after last November’s election.
