Summary

"The Bush administration and Wall Street lobbyists are fabricating a crisis and attempting to sell us another colossal lie, one that could justify ending Social Security as we know it. Joe Conason throws a wrench in that plan by exposing the most serious effort to weaken or abolish America's most successful social program."--BOOK JACKET.
