Request for help on SS issue. I was trying to explain to some

[lectrobyte]

people that the proposed new SS plan is not like a 401K, your family won't inherit the money when you die etc., is there a good reliable link (I mean something that won't make a moderate Repub simply dismiss it outright -- http://www.bushsucks.com/SSPlanIsCrap.htm would be the opposite of what I'm looking for) that lays out the details of the plan in a reasonably clear manner?

Thanks in advance!

1. no, there is no plan

only a fleet of trial balloons.

Here is a good link about the inheritance issue, tho

2. Exactly, it makes one wonder what is really going on.

The S.S. uproar seems like an obfuscation.

3. He's making a big noise about SS

while he secretly guts medicaid behind everybody's back.

4. read Molly Ivins recent column

I couldn't find a link to her most recent column, but she describes how the "clawback" would work basically negating the "ownership" bullshit.

5. One piece of advice: keep it simple and ignore distractions.

Oh, yes,...and repeat the following over and over and over again even if it offends your thinking mind:

Bush's plan is to destroy Social Security AND funnel our money to Wall Street at the same time.

Bush's plan is to destroy Social Security AND funnel our money to Wall Street at the same time.

When they assert "talking points" they've heard, tell them that Bush serves Wall Street, not common people and

Bush's plan is to destroy Social Security AND funnel our money to Wall Street at the same time.

WE HAVE TO BEAT "THEM" AT THEIR OWN GAME!!!

6. Thanks for the links. And the talking points. After Iraq, I should

have known there was no plan, just a fake crisis to distract us while they robbed and plundered.
