Bush vs. Facts

I wish I could claim credit for the headline, but that's the brilliant sub-head of a must-read Rex Nutting column (?) today at CBS MarketWatch:

"President Bush made several factual errors Tuesday about Social Security's long-term financing problems at a photo op event designed to educate the public about the retirement system."

It's an awesome, and brief, and non-sleep-inducing read. Print it out and carry it around with you as a talking points memo for future arguments with rabble-rousers who want to destroy Social Security in order to save it.

Thank God guys like this are around. It's sort of sad, though, that so few of them are available that none could be found to work for the Washington Post or the New York Times.
