Group Opens $2 Million Drive for Bush Social Security Plan
By GLEN JUSTICE

WASHINGTON, March 7 - The Progress for America Voter Fund, a Republican political advocacy group, began a $2 million campaign of television commercials on Monday, rolling out a minute long advertisement supporting President Bush's Social Security plan.

The commercial, which will run on national cable channels for three weeks, opens with a scene of a fog-shrouded iceberg as an announcer intones, "Some people say Social Security is not in trouble, just like some thought the Titanic was unsinkable."

Republicans are fond of attacking what "some people" say.

It goes on to cite Social Security statistics, including a warning that "if nothing is done, it will go bankrupt," before advocating personal investment accounts and other elements of Mr. Bush's plan.

And we bankruptcy isn't an issue.

Bullshit is, though...
