Social Security Tactics

Reuters reports

Opponents of President Bush's plan to restructure the Social Security retirement system accused the White House on Friday of using scare tactics to win support for private investment accounts.

"These are scare tactics designed to create fear," [former Clinton administration Social Security official James Roosevelt] said. "These attempts to divide grandparents, parents and children on the issue are an attack on the most successful program this country has ever had."

What, you mean the president might hype a situation, giving dire warnings of the terrible things that might happen if his strategy is not followed? The next thing someone will say is all his warnings about the horrifying consequences of not attacking an Iraq armed to the teeth with WMD were made up too. Oh wait, they were.
