Where's Junior on Social Security? We May Have Found Him.

Where's Junior

Joshua Marshall at Talking Points Memo challenged readers to find out where Tom Kean, Jr stands on Social Security, since his website is incredibly vague.

Tom Kean Jr has been on the "destroy Social Security" bandwagon for quite a while. It turns out that when Junior ran for a House seat in 2000, his position was crystal clear. He wanted to take the "social" out of Social Security:

Mr. Kean supports investing 2 percent of the Social Security Trust Fund in the Stock Market, in the form of personal retirement accounts that would be controlled by individuals rather than the government.

Since then, he's been asked about Social Security countless times and has never disavowed his previous position. The statement on his website is still worded to be intentionally vague, but he can't hide from the fact that he'll just be another rubber stamp for gutting Social Security. Is he too ashamed to admit his true intentions to New Jersey voters?
