Center for American Progress' John Irons recently wrote an interesting column describing various important budget and economic issues we are currently facing such as the estate tax, entitlement and discretionary cuts, and the cutting of health care for low-income earners. Irons' column suggests that while the fight to save Social Security is important, it is perhaps a tactic being used by the administration to shift some focus and attention away from important budget and economic issues, and on to Social Security. The column can be read here.
