| Social Security Hawks Its Own Demise A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION Dear BuzzFlash: I called Social Security's 800 number today because I needed to change my bank account information with them. Imagine my HORROR while I waited to talk to someone and heard not one but TWO messages supporting Bush's accounts proposal, telling me we had to move now before it is too late and they would soon be unable to pay benefits. This got me really upset and when I finally got a hold of a real person, I asked them why they are taking a political position. I thought Federal Civil Servants had to be nonpartisan under the Hatch Act. The operator ignored my plea that she should take down my complaint. I didn't ask to be disabled, Buzz, but I guess I better get my bowl nice and clean and ready when Grover Norquist forces me out on the street to beg for money.
