Trustees

Just an update on the missing Social Security Trustees report. The stated reason for the delay was that they were missing the two Public Trustees whose terms had expired. Bush wanted to renominate the existing ones and the Senate wasn't too happy with that. So, Bush made one of his recess appointments that used to send Official Washington into a tizzy when Clinton did it but are now just fine and reappointed them himself.

The report will arrive on May 1, one week from today...
