Spitzer blasts Bush on Social Security
BY J. JIONI PALMER
WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON -
In one of his first addresses since announcing that he's running for
governor, New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer waded into the
national debate about privatizing Social Security, saying the Bush
administration has no credibility because it opposed his efforts to
clean up corruption on Wall Street.
Spitzer, speaking at the National Press Club, blasted the White House
for opposing overhauls designed to curb fraudulent practices by
investment bankers, mutual funds, stock analysts and others his office
has prosecuted.
"You have an administration that failed to protect investors. Failed
to protect them. And yet they are the administration that is saying
take the safety net that we have and invest it in a system that was
fundamentally broken before others stepped in to try to save it,"
Spitzer said.
"Where would we be if those who are retiring had had their money in
Enron and Worldcom?"
A spokeswoman for the White House declined to comment.

Well said, Mr. Spitzer.

I would not be surprised if Spitzer has his eyes on the White House.
