All those lies

The Rovians in the Shubministration are hard at work again ,spending your tax dollars on advertising campaigns to convince you that Social Security is in a crisis, and will be bankrupt by next Tuesday. The SSA itself is entering into PR contracts with private firms for the express purpose of creating ads and campaigns to fan the flames and jam privatization down our collective throats.

Joe Conason talks about it.
