Anybody see the AARP ad on "privatization" of Social Security?
It shows a plumber looking at a clogged up sink ..then he says he needs to tear down the house to fix the small plumbing problem. A bulldozer knocks out the side of the house...A sledgehammer breaks all the nice furniture in the house....A wrecking ball comes thru the roof of the house...and finally the chimney falls into a pile of rubble...

Do we really need to tear down SS with a "privatization" plan when all it needs is a small repair??? :)

I saw it for the first time tonight...

4. Whoa.... weird
It came on during WW about 30 seconds after I read this.

High on humor and visual appeal, low on information. I don't think "could cost up to $2 trillion" (quoting from memory) is gonna sway many people. No idea how many will remember or care to check the AARP site.
