GOP now distancing itself from top budget guy's plan to privatize Social Security and Medicare

I was reading an amazingly dumb proposal the other day, from the top Republican on the House budget committee, talking about how we needed to private Social Security and Medicare, so that we could save money. How? By making insurance more expensive for people, and cutting back on their coverage. Incredibly asinine, and vicious proposal. And coming from the top Republican on budget issues, who very likely would be chair of the budget committee if the Republicans take back the House - well, this is downright dangerous. Brian Beutler has more.
