And Speaking (Also) of Things the Press is Ignoring...

Social Security.

While seniors are up in arms, and the Bamboozlepalooza Tour rages on, the media has apparently decided that covering this issue in any great detail doesn't bode well for the Bushies, so they've stopped mentioning it much.

I wish I could remember where I read it today, but there was a report that many high income earners deliberately cheat the SS fund out of taxable earnings (to the tune of about $15 billion a year) because they claim they don't take salaries when they pocket profits of more than $100K a year each. These same folks though are right there in line for every freebie SS hands out once they get to retirement age.
