[lbo-talk] Luntz, wordsmith

[joanna bujes]

Privatization is theft at worse, gambling at best. We do have the 
wordsmiths, we just don't command the airwaves. If our representation of 
"personalizing social security" were "gambling with social security" or 
"stealing social security," it would get heard; but we don't get the air 
time.
