Why isn't McCain talking about privatizing Social Security now?

John McCain proudly supported privatizing Social Security to Wall Street a few years ago, so what does he have to say now? Now that the big financials are coughing up more bad numbers (WSJ reporting $6 - $8 billion more write downs for Merrill Lynch) we need to clearly understand how McCain thinks this is such a good idea. Why in the world would anyone want to risk the future of Social Security with Wild West gamblers? It only proves how little he knows about Wall Street and Main Street if he was so eager to outsource our future to these people.

For starters he ought to be talking about the fleecing of American retirement plans due to excessive charges by Wall Street but no, don't expect McCain to offer any common sense talk about protecting normal Americans. McCain doesn't travel in those circles and his advisers are all in the pocket of the Wall Street companies that are looking for their next taxpayer sponsored handout.
