Carter on Social Security

[Charles Miller]

Sure why not? The deep-seated distrust of govt. is only growing... This
is a case where people want to believe something that can be shown is
completely contrary to the facts. The question is, if enough people
believe and act that way, doesn't it start to become a self-fulfilling
prophecy?

Another question is: as politically conscious activists do we want to
reinforce the antipathy to govt. or somehow bolster the image that "hey,
it's not as bad as Rush Limbaugh wants you to think. The govt's okay,
it's just a bunch of disinformation fed to you by people who want to
control society in the name of a traditional Christian-fascist
ideology"?

How well did the notion that the Reps are perpetrating a putsch by
impeaching Clinton play in Poughkeepsie?

I just heard Carter say on the King show that twice as many people
believe in UFOs than there are who believe they will actually collect
social security someday.  What do LBOers have to say about that?
