Is Rick Perry's take on Social Security refreshing or ridiculous?

Gov. Perry did an Op-ed today called I am going to be honest with the American people which he further outlined his statement he made in the debate last week where he said that Social Security was a Ponzi scheme.

Do you buy into his statement…
“I am going to be honest with the American people. Our elected leaders must have the strength to speak frankly about entitlement reform if we are to right our nation’s financial course and get the USA working again.”

What is your take on this bold strategy of Gov. Perry? Do you find this a much needed refreshing bold new approach to conventional “play-it-safe” politics, or is his idea for reforming Social Security a bit too extreme?
