President Bush's proposal to revise Social Security to authorize personal investment accounts isn't likely to gain congressional approval, Republican Rep. Lee Terry said.
"I don't see the votes there," the four-term congressman and dean of Nebraska's House delegation said in a Lincoln interview this week. More likely is "a little tweaking of Social Security to extend its (fiscally stable) life another 10 or 15 years," Terry said.
Most constituents tell him they have questions about the president's plan rather than oppose or support it, Terry said. "If I were an adviser, I'd tell the president to quit talking principles and present a plan. Get a specific plan and start advocating it."
