Neither the Times nor the Post has come down very hard on Mr. Greenspan’s recent statement that Social Security benefits should be cut while Bush’s tax cuts be made permanent. So the Fed chairman is saying tax relief for people making over $300,000 a year and elimination of the inheritance tax for the children of multimillionaires is more important than preserving Social Security? This is an utterly RADICAL proposition deserving loud and emphatic criticism from even the most moderate of moderates. But alas, the more-tepid-than-thou Post editorial board treats the matter with normalizing blandness, as usual.
