WAPO Talks About Social Security "Changes"

Dean Baker
Published: Monday 11 July 2011

Usually it is the politicians who use euphemisms to try to conceal the impact of their policies. However, the Washington Post decided to help them along in a front page article when it twice referred to Social Security "changes" that could be part of the budget agreement.
