Using my tax dollars to cut my benefits
Astounding. The administration is using taxpayer dollars to sell the Social Security idea. After all, only 30% of the population hasn't flat-out rejected it. From the AP story:
WASHINGTON - A new Social Security war room inside the Treasury Department is pumping out information to sell President Bush's plan, much like any political campaign might do. It's part of a coordinated effort by the Bush administration.
The internal, taxpayer-funded campaigning is backed up by television advertisements, grass-roots organizing and lobbying from business and other groups that support the Bush plan.
Paying off journalists (with taxpayer money) to peddle programs wasn't enough. Producing fake news videos (with taxpayer money) to promote their drug bill wasn't enough. The irony of so-called fiscal conservatives using taxpayer dollars to promote unfunded programs and payouts to giant corporations is about as evil as it gets.
