Poised to Pounce
Writing at Counterpunch, Rob Urie examines the fictions floated by Obama as he leads the Democratic Party in an attack on Social Security his ideological mentor Ronald Reagan would be proud of. As the last unlooted and solvent fund under the federal government's control, the Social Security fund is ripe for the picking by the publicly bailed out banks that financed Obama's elections. Neither of these facts bodes well for the aging, disabled or poor, but then, they aren't yet sufficiently organized to put up a fight.
With Obama poised to pounce on their money, maybe they ought to start getting organized.
