The Nation - Selected Editorial)

[James Farmelant]

Ellen of course is right.  The problem is that Wall Street sees the SS
trust
funds as a nice source of additional investment capital so they
have been campaigning hard for privatizing SS.  They have been
actively attempting to undermine public support for SS by stirring
up generational conflict.  Unfortunately, I think they have a good chance
of succeeding since the corporate owned media has been giving
free reign to their propaganda.
