We’re all hip to push-polls and other strategies for below-the-radar advocacy. But perhaps the Social Security phase-out agenda provides a new and ready-made technique.
Many companies have benefits providers who have regular contact with quite a few individual employees. Today, for instance, I received a copy of a flyer posted around one firm letting everyone know about an upcoming special presentation on the Social Security ‘crisis’ for the benefit of the company’s employees.
The presentation is being put on by a representative from a certain financial services company.
The flyer reads “Social Security … Find out: How it works, Why it is in crisis What to expect.”
Of course, there’s also details with date and time and even the munchies that they’ll serve. You can even get an individual consultation if you want, it says — no doubt to tell you that the Social Security Administration is set to auto-destruct and that anyone who thinks they’ll ever collect a Social Security benefit is certifiably insane.
Have you seen flyers like this showing up at your work place?
