Yes, the Washington Post has published a column arguing against the Social Security crisis story. Robert Ball, the former Social Security commissioner, a member of the 1983 Greenspan commission, and a great defender of the system got 700 words in the paper this morning to make the case. Read it carefully, most of us will probably not live to see another such piece in the pages in the Post.
There's too much at stake this November for us to quit. As we navigate another presidential election year, thoughtful independent journalism is more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on what's really happening across the country this election season, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in America.
Quality reporting doesn't come for free, and we don't have corporate backers or megadonors to rely on to fund our work. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to help make what we do possible. This month, we're trying to raise $50,000 to help fuel our election year coverage, and we need your help to make it happen. Any amount you give will help us deliver the high-quality coverage you expect from us this election season.
