Wanted to post this yesterday but had a busy morning then flew up to Buffalo with Michele for her mom's 50th birthday. Happy birthday Mrs. K!
In other news, that "liberal" CBS News is at it again. Kevin Drum
Tonight they ran a segment on the evening news called "Social Security Changes" that featured an interview with a young man who could be "the poster child for Social Security reform." And indeed he could: 28 years old, 6 years of employment, planning to retire in 2042, and about to get married. "I don't expect to get anything from Social Security," said Tad DeHaven. "I don't consider it in terms of my long term planning. It's not going to be there." Needless to say, young Tad is all for private accounts.
...
It seems that DeHaven worked for the Heritage Foundation in 1998 and for Cato from 2001-2004 — both big supporters of Social Security privatization.
...
So — just some random guy off the street? Not quite. More like a lobbyist for the very program the CBS segment was about.
CBS isn't liberal. They're not conservative, either. The only biases there, and at most other news organizations, are money and laziness.
