Social Security's PR Plan
The NYT leads with word that Social Security is gearing up to publicize the system's allegedly dire finances. The agency has a tactical plan to promote the notion that without immediate action, Social Security will go bankrupt. Agency officials say that educating the public is part of their job, but some employees believe President Bush is using scare tactics to push the idea of private accounts. "Trust fund dollars should not be used to promote a political agenda," said one employee representative. We'll see if Congress agrees with the president that the nation's most successful social program cannot be saved without a radical overhaul.
