What (New) is Rotten in Bush's Social Security Denmark?

Posted by Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo, which also links back to the story's coverage on Atrios' Eschaton:

A bit more follow up on this issue of this year's Social Security actuarial report. Atrios got hold of this portion of the Social Security Act which mandates that the annual report be released no later than April 1st of each year. It's only April 3rd so it's not that late -- black letter law notwithstanding. But Matt Yglesias called Treasury Department public affairs and was told not only that it isn't out yet but that there's not even any timeline or projected date when it will be released.

This administration doesn't play fast and loose with the law on Social Security for nothing. Something's up.

Something is definitely up.

Anyone have any ideas?
