Bamboozlepalooza: Day 13 of 60

[The Bush administration has launched a 60-day public relations campaign to sell its Social Security privitization plan. ThinkProgress helps you keep up with all the action.]

Has Bamboozlepalooza stalled?

Days 1-10: Lots of action every day.

Days 11-13: Zilch.

Update: Looks like they are rolling again. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce Eric Stewart is barnstorming North Carolina.

Shouldn’t we wait to critize Bush until he actually submits his plan. Seems to me like stuff like this makes us look too negative.

Ryan,
That sounds a bit like a troll
since:
–> Bush refuses to submit a complete plan
–> What he has presented does nothing to
help SS solvency
–> He is trying to bait with private accounts
while keeping very quiet about benefit cuts
–> Bush’s ideological mind trust has been clear
they want to destroy SS for many years

The question you should ask is this: Why would Bush spend good tax money promoting a mere concept?? Why would he undertake a 60 day trek across the country without so much as a plan?

Ryan,
This is more of the spin, half-truths, and lies we have heard for the past 4+ years. What would make you think things have changed? This is the same team that said their were WMD, why should we believe that SS is about to cave-in?

Make Social Security solvent by reducing Israels aid by 2-3 billion a year and put it in the Social Security fund. We would make Social Security solvent and have more friends in the middlle east.

This may be just one issue the republicans cannot go back to ‘ol reliable – 9/11.

Every day of the 60 day parade should be marked as another day without a specific Bush plan to make Social Security solvent. As in: “Fourteen down, twenty-six to go; still no plan Bush can show.”

Bush says he getting his message across and I for one believe him. Even with his riged town hall meetings and his shill reporters and no plan but just talk. He has convinced me it’s a bunch of bull.
