Social security and solvency

Ann Althouse blogs Mitch McConnell's appearance on "Meet the Press" today. Russert kept asking how private accounts solve the solvency problem.

All McConnell can say is: as long as we are going to do something about the solvency problem, why don't we do something else about Social Security that is also a good idea? Why should we not read that as a concession that personal accounts don't help with the solvency problem?
