Grassley Open to Focusing on Solvency, Dropping Private Accounts

This would be encouraging, but I don't think the GOP is ready to decouple solvency and privatization:

CNN Money:  Retirement debate to heat up in Senate ... Grassley, according to USA Today, said he would be open to coming up with a bill that focuses on solvency and puts aside individual accounts for now...

The fact that there is an emerging recognition that solvency and privatization are separate issues is, however, a step in the right direction. [Update:  CNN has more here.]
