More Social Security misinformation on Meet the Press

On the January 16 edition of NBC's Meet the Press http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6832586/ , moderator Tim Russert once again advanced the administration's highly debatable argument for the privatization of Social Security http://mediamatters.org/items/200412130003 . On the program, Russert misleadingly suggested that the Social Security trust fund will be exhausted by 2029 by quoting an outdated 1998 remark by former President Bill Clinton that relied on projections at that time. Russert also failed to correct Bush counselor Dan Bartlett's erroneous assertion that private personal accounts are "part of the solution" to the problems facing Social Security.

3. The way he kept hammering at Emmanuel,

it was obvious that he has taken the koolaid and swallowed all the delusionary Rethug pills. See Josh Micah Marshall's take, and his (and my) hope that Emmanuel will do a better job of leading our side.
