So I'm on hold with Social Security

[lazarus]

because the IRS doesn't recognise my number for some reason.

Instead of muzak, here's what I get to listen to:

A running commentary about how Social Security is about to go bankrupt, and we need to make changes. Great, I've got Bush propaganda when I call in now. Isn't this illegal?

1. Tape it - let a reporter know

2. tape record it.

5. Wasn't there a paper insert sent out with the checks stating the same?

If it's not illegal it should be, basically to me it is a form of Terrorism...making fear again the key offense for these people. Scare the elderly into thinking that their monthly checks are in danger. Why am I not surprised by this tactic?

Tape record the message.

3. It should be but evidently the Minister of Information can

propagandize all he wants to. If you have an office close by, just walk in. They will give you a run around and make you wait a lot, so take the day off, but eventually they have to acknowledge you and take your case. I'm taking about SS here. I don't think you can walk into the IRS anymore, too many bomb threats I believe.

4. Feel free to make a sarcastic comment about how much you enjoyed it.

If they cut social security, that surely means the job of whatever operater answers your call.

6. More bush propaganda.............

24/7. The leader is good, do not question the leader. The leader will do what's best for you, always trust the leader.

That has GOT to be illegal. Does the GAO know about this crap?

These fucking slime balls don't even bother to try hiding it anymore.

THE LEADER CAN KISS MY ASS. :dem:

[proud patriot]

7. I'd tape it Laz and send it into the GAO

I believe using our tax dollars to push propaganda
is illegal .

8. I sent the link to this post to Josh Marshall
