[7-14-11 Follow-up: "Nelson's proposal was designed to ensure that Social Security recipients receive their checks in the event of a default, mandating that the program's obligations no longer count against the overall debt limit."

[A new alternative(hybrid plan) is being crafted that seems to combine congressional creativity with giving it to the President to get 'er done. A Trumanesque reference to giving him the Hot Potato, while they get out of the kitchen.]
