The ghost of Fix the Debt
by digby
Alex Lawson and friends go to the Virginia "grassroots" chapter of the corporate astroturf outfit Fix the Debt to volunteer. I know you'll be shocked to find out that it doesn't seem to exist.
Check their web site for all the alleged state chapters.
Well, they may not have average Americans supporting them but they do have these fine folks, most of which seem to be business orgs or affiliates of the CRFB which is, coincidentally, the umbrella organization that organized Fix the Debt. Oh, and this group of wealthy granny-starvers, too.
Surely you don't object to the idea that these people are total phonies who are trying to cut the social security benefits average Americans have earned and depend upon? Aren't they just like you and me?
