Angle says it is “myth” she wants to scrap Social Security

Source: Las Vegas Sun

Sharron Angle: The GOP Senate nominee, who had some of her DC handlers in town as well as at least one RNC official, stayed pretty much on script today. She said Dick Morris, the current FOX News contributor and RJ muse, told her “the fate of the nation rides on you.” Wow – with great power, Ms. Angle, comes great responsibility.

She unleashed familiar, crowd-pleasing lines: “Harry Reid is not too big to fail; he’s failed already.” She detailed the Obama “progressive agenda” and said Reid “has failed us, has failed America.” She invoked Ronald Reagan – I believe this is required at GOP conventions – and expressed admiration for the Laffer curve and asserted “Keynesian economics doesn’t work.”

On Social Security, she was at her most expansive yet. She called it a “little myth” she needed to dispel and said she does not “want to eliminate Social Security. I’m out to save it.” Huge applause followed from an apparently amnesiac crowd that forgot she recently said she wants to “phase out” Social Security But that was then (primary); this is now (general). Angle then went into the Reid-raiding-the-lockbox mantra and said the Treasury Bonds in the trust fund are “IOUs.” Then more of the standard stuff: Repeal Obamacare. Cut spending. It’s all about the economy.

Two points: One, Angle finally has a rapid response team. Two, the issue is that the waste still has to get to Yucca, even if it’s reprocessed. Some folks might agree that the dump site needs to be used for something – some might even think reprocessing is a good idea – but no one can deny transportation could be an issue, despite the lack of any serious accidents transporting low-level waste.
