Blast the media with George W. Bush's 1978 Social Security claims!!!

[wicket]

Thanks to the DUer JHB for this info.

Republicans have been crying wolf over Social Security for decades, and now Bush is trying to whip up a crisis so he can get support for privatizing Social Security. Their intent is not to save SS, but to destroy it, and they've been doing this for decades. According to the Texas Observer here, George W. Bush claimed in 1978 when he was running for Congress that Social Security would go bust by 1988 if people were not allowed to invest the money themselves. HA! Some prediction, must be more of that "fuzzy math". Blast the media with this info and tell them it's time for the Republicans to stop crying wolf and come clean with their intentions. For more info on their intentions see this post by Digby.
