Britain shows pension plan path for U S reforms
Cal Thomas argues that Britain’s two tier system, with private pensions funded by workers and protected benefits, demonstrates a model for U S Social Security reform. He cites high private pension adoption, strong returns, reduced debt, and legal guarantees, urging America to privatize and let workers direct payroll taxes into private plans.

President uses veto threat Congress bullied on budget
In 1995 Bill Clinton faced a Republican Congress over a budget bill. He vetoed key items while Republicans argued for tax credits and domestic spending cuts. The budget ultimately passed with modest gains like Medical Savings Accounts and a small capital gains cut, illustrating bipartisan concessions. Mona Charen notes the folded positions of Republicans amid debates on health care and welfare.
