House Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas (R-CA) warns that President Bush's Social Security reform plan could be so devisive that it will quickly turn into a "dead horse." He's already looking at alternatives to the President's plan.
Rep Thomas is the highest ranking Republican to cast doubts on Social Security reform. But a rising drumbeat of doubt from Republicans in Congress is beginning to paint the President's Social Security plans in a familiar shade: that of President Clinton's health care reform. That disaster split the Democratic Party and allowed the Republicans to sweep into House and Senate majorities in 1994.
