Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-PA) has joined the long list of Republican opponents to President Bush's plan to reform Social Security. In a letter to Pennsylvanians United, Gerlach stated, "I am opposed to the President's PRA proposal and my focus is on finding other ways to [resolve the unfunded liability]." (more info here). Despite continuous opposition, Congressional GOP leaders seem bent on pushing legislation through. Tom DeLay (R-TX) said yesterday that Democrats "are obviously playing politics. They have decided that they're not going to participate and that creates a very difficult approach to getting the bill done." It is obviously not Democrats alone who are refusing to participate in discussions for reforms which include private accounts.
