As we hinted yesterday, there’s some blogosphere buzz about an expected fight on Social Security come fall. Well, there are some interesting ideas about how it going to happen. At least two bloggers think some sort of “stealth plan” is the likliest scenario.

Steve Soto sees it happening link this. (Suburban Guerilla picked up on it too.)

But there is talk now that the GOP will in fact take another, under-the-radar run at passing Social Security privatization this session, and they will model their approach on the approach that yielded the GOP-only, budget busting Medicare drug bill fiasco. How? Well, according to this piece from the Dallas Morning News, Rove and the GOP are planning to have each house pass a Social Security-related bill: the Senate will pass a watered-down bill that doesn’t include private accounts while DeLay will ram through Bill Thomas’s Ways and Means Committee a bill that does include private accounts. Then, following the example set by the Medicare drug bill, the GOP leadership will send both bills to a conference committee where Democrats will be largely if not totally excluded, and produce a bill that, voila, has private accounts in them.

Seesdifferent, over at DailyKos picks up on the same article and says it’s likely to happen on this bill, introduced by Rep. Jim McCrery (R, LA-04). Soto then sees DeLay calling another late-night voting session, as happened with the Medicare bill in 2003. The difference being that the Democrats didn’t see it coming that time. The question is, will they see it coming this time, what will they do about it? What can the Democrats do about it? According to Steve Schmitt of the Decembrist, there is at least one option.

But that’s just how a few see it happening. Assuming that something is going to happen on the Social Security front this fall, how do you see it playing out?

Rock the Vote Bio: Rock the Vote was founded in 1990 to organize artists and fight against censorship of musicians. Since then we've evolved to focus on empowering young people to get involved in the political process. We use pop culture, peer-to-peer organizing, and the latest technology to raise visibility of politics and demystify the process of registering to vote. @rockthevote Email the author at: blog(at)rockthevote.com

   I hope the voice of young Americans is heard and we get ownership over our retirements.

   I think that the 2/3rds of Americans under the age of 30 who support Voluntary Personal Retirement Accounts will come out at the grassroots level to pressure Congress!!!

   Haha.

   Glad to see Rock the Vote admit it gets its political insider news from DailyKos.com.

   Are you kidding me?

   Could you pick a more left wing blog?

   Try socialsecuritychoice.com or secureourfuture.org for a more balanced view.

   Pretty Funny. Dailykos, as if the aarp wasn’t enough.

   Hopefully the plan will pass. If the dems are too stupid to back a plan that will help the youth of this country, then they deserve to be the minority.

   Well unfortunately no one advocates ending the system or bank CD retirement accounts so it seems that no matter which side wins, we’ll all lose.

   I agree with RTV, Bush’s plan for privatization of social security is dangerous! Instead of reforms, I think we should just abolish social security altogether.
