Obama's dishonesty on Social Security

The country could use an honest debate on Social Security, particularly in an election year, says Investor's Business Daily.

From comments made over the weekend, though, it's clear that Barack Obama is not the man to provide it, the newspaper laments.

Sen. Obama, who refers to himself as a "citizen of the world," apparently doesn't want Americans to have the same options for retirement savings as most of the other countries of the world.

From an editorial in today's edition:

Obama, possibly the next U.S. president, has decided that Americans can't have the same freedom to choose as Chileans, Britons, Australians and others. Those who support the "progressive" candidate in this race need to know that less freedom is not progress.
