Out east 11 days.. Corporations and right wing media |
|
are spewing scare tactics through their outlets to get to the Independents
Corporations are withholding money to hire new folks in order to get rid of the Democrats before they put a hold on letting the tax cuts for the rich expire.
Scare people to death thinking the Democrats would actually cut Social Security through right wing corporate media outlets.
It could be quite effective. People are easily scared.
I hope that people can see how they are being manipulated. But when emotion and fear gets in the way of rational thought..well all bets are off.

we don't do anything about it. Learn to enjoy it.
Edit: BTW, I can't believe anyone is surprised by this. If I were to tell you that there is no Easter Bunny, would that surprise you too?

4. A 'hold' will not stop the automatic expiration of jr's tax cuts. Obama's cat food commission will |
|
'recommend' cutting Social Security either by reducing COLA increases or raising the retirement age. The Senate has already agreed to allow an up on down vote on those 'recommendations' without amendment. Don't be afraid. Do not be manipulated. Call your congress Critter and ask them to take the pledge: On Social Security; No privatization. No Cuts No age increases.
