A few days ago, when I announced our new ‘privatization’ word hunt contest, I predicted, in jest I thought, that before this was over, the Bush camp probably would have outlawed the use of the phrase ‘private accounts’ too.
Well, as is so often the case with the Bush team, reality has simply outrun mockery.
Matt Yglesias has more.
As he aptly notes, “Since the term was apparently in good standing with privatization’s leading advocates as little as three weeks ago, I see no reason we shouldn’t keep using the term.”
