LAT: The Cons' Decades-Old Privatization Propaganda War
Considering that the Cons have been investing billions and decades in their War on Our Social Security, I'm amazed that their brainwashing hasn't been 100% effective. But they haven't yet succeeded in destroying our public school system, so there must be enough people out there who still know enough math to know when they're being sold bogus figures. (Thanks to Kevin Drum for the heads-up.) Meanwhile, as Josh Marshall points out today, Bush is going to Montana not to put pressure on Max Baucus, but on Denny Rehberg, the sole Republican Congresscritter for Montana. Why? Because Rehberg is not behind the Bush/Cato privatization plan. He even dares call it what it is: Not "choice", not "personal accounts", but PRIVATIZATION. Bush and his buddies may have billions, but the Republicans who still have to worry about winning elections aren't very happy at all about this scam.
