Marketing Social Security Reform

By now you've certainly read news accounts of efforts by the president and his team to SCARE and FRIGHTEN people into believing that Social Security is in CRISIS at this VERY MOMENT! Oh my God! RUN! There is a DANGEROUSLY INSOLVENT SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM BEARING DOWN ON YOU RIGHT NOW!

Ahem. (I've written about Social Security a bit here and here.)

According to reports the last few days, they've -- I'm shocked, shocked! -- begun to deploy the Social Security Administration to sell this fiction in every way possible: Via official government publications, Social Security's own web site, mental telepathy, smoke signals, skywriting, and so on. Will it be long before everyone who receives a Social Security check finds something like this in their mailbox?

The NEW Social Security Check

As we've learned over the past three years and 362 days, anything's possible with this crowd.

If anybody would do the math they wouldd see these accounts would be so small no broker would take them. We have a private way of investing a portion of our check. It's called I R A.
