Charles Crist is a damned idiot

From G. Wills article, Crist said in response to a Social Security question:

Neither idea startles any serious person. But Crist, with the reflex of the unreflective, rejected both and said that he would fix Social Security by eliminating "waste" and "fraud," of which there is little. The system's problems are the result not of incompetent administration but of improvident promises made by Congress.

Now, SS, of all government programs is the easiest to administer, though hugely expensive. Some 62,000 person are employed in the administration of SS, a large number until one compares it with the 3 million other federal civilian employees. It is not wastefully managed compared to other departments.
