Quotation of the Day for November 28, 2011"But since the politics of privatization depend on convincing the public that there is a Social Security crisis, the privatizers have done their best to invent one. ... "There's no honest way anyone can hold both these positions, but very little about the privatizers' position is honest. They come to bury Social Security, not to save it. They aren't sincerely concerned about the possibility that the system will someday fail; they're disturbed by the system's historic success. "For Social Security is a government program that works, a demonstration that a modest amount of taxing and spending can make people's lives better and more secure. And that's why the right wants to destroy it." - Paul Krugman, economist and Nobel laureate. [http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/07/opinion/07krugman.html] Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Nov. 25, 2011  |
