The American Spectator - Treasury This Moment
Gramm would lend extra heft to a Bush Administration desperately trying to build support for two critical issues it will press in the coming years: overhauling and simplifying the tax code, and partial privatization of Social Security accounts. Both issues were important to Gramm in his Senate days, and his genial public face and tough talk are thought to be a plus in making the public appeal on these issues.
Phil Gramm was "conservative before conservative was cool". I even have a Gramm for President sticker from 1996. Let's get someone with some passion on economic issues to be a true advocate for tax reform and social security reform. It would also be nice to get someone in the administration that would try and fix the spending mess as nobody on Washington seems to want to fix that problem.
