Is everyone hearing the Bush SocSec propaganda today? [View All]

I'm in central Iowa, and I've been listening to Jan Mickelson.

Mickelson's show today is in full force, marketeering the idea that Social Security is in need of reform.

I just heard one of his guests call Social Security "corrupt", "a Ponzi scheme" and "a scam." Jan's show has featured 3 guests so far (JC Watts was one) who have been positioning Social Security as a broken, failed system. They're also discussing instances where people ripped off the system and reported fake disabilities--as if these are common occurrences.

There's a whole lot of fear mongering, demonizing and exaggerating going on. They're really laying it on thick today.

It's amazing to see the Republican propaganda machine operating in your own backyard.

I hope other Iowans are able to make it to the president's speech at Kirkwood. Unfortunately, I am unable to make the trip.

Are others in Iowa hearing the propaganda too?
