And, like the recently enacted Social Security-reform package, the recommendations represent a bipartisan political compromise. But the proposed solution still faces problems on Capitol Hill. The commission has argued that the combination of recommendations is a seamless package, but an effort in Congress to jettison the MX and vote only on the Midgetman seems likely.
