I think the Post has had to correct their story.
Amazing how forked up the MSM is. The spin doctors just cannot report anything truthfully anymore. Hey, MSM, Kerry the Marxist lost. Get over it.
Sort of.
I thought I smelled a Socialist RAT!! The article just didn't make sense, not after what W said last night!
The White House should haul them over the Coals!!

bttt
and some people here believed it!!!
When I first read the Weisman piece, I couldn't believe what I was reading. His conclusions were palpably implausible.
Actually publishing the piece betrays either a.) it was designed as a hit piece, meant to confuse the issue and dump on the proposal from the outset, or b.) the editors were asleep at the switch, more ignorant even than the writer.
I can't bring myself to believe that editors for the Washington Post are quite that ignorant or incompetent. So, I'm betting it was the former...
I don't believe anything any of them say unless they can prove it.
Michael Moore Prominently Displaying Bogus Washington Post Story on SS
Bingo! I read my local fishwrap to get the daily funny section and do the crosswords and peek at the stock closings.
I rely on this forum (FreeRepublic) to get my news... and for that matter, my commentary.
Social Security's projected insolvency has been a political football for at least a decade or more.
Democrats claim "possession" of the SS scheme. Their solution will be to increase the Soc Sec tax rate and to increase the age of retirement to 75 years of age. Under Democrat party dictation, Soc Sec would become a ubiquitous all-purpose welfare blanket covering all social and health problems for EVERYONE. Thence the ultimate horror - imposed socialism and a tyrannical government.
Soc Sec benefits and "entitlements" have been bankrupted by Congress' siphon. Congress has double-crossed American Workers by manipulating taxation and social security.
I don't believe anything any of them say unless they can prove it.
I used to have a bumper sticker on my car saying "I don't believe the Washington Post". Being an avid reader of the Washington Times, I never believed anything that the Post said, however I did believe the Washington Times.
Can someone not splash "white house" and "blast" in the same capitalized letters. Almost gave me a heartattack...hehe just kidding, but still, the white house needs other words associated with it.
The 80's are OVER!
Part of it is bias and their overweening political agenda.
But good ol' country ignorance also plays a large role, too. The nationwide decline in educational quality seems to be most visible within the media.
Evidently, a journalism degree is cut from the same cloth as an education degree. I.e., you're taught "how to teach", but without reference to any other body of knowledge. In a journalist's case, you're taught "how to report", but without reference to any other body of knowledge (either vertical, as in "history", or horizontal, as in "critical thinking").
The Washington Post and its entire editorial staff should be embarrassed by this little affair.
There's one reason and one reason only that the dims don't want the SS fund to leave congress' control: It's a source of pork for them, and that is the coup that W will achieve, taking it away from them.
New MSM motto "Fake but accurate".
