FOG on the Radio in MinnesotaBy Lea Abdnor

I just got off the phone with Mary Koep, talk radio host at WWWI in Brainerd, Minnesota.  This delightful lady spent an hour asking questions about our entitlements systems and in particular, Social Security.   It was clear to me that people feel frustrated and confused about entitlements. 

There have been and continue to be so many misleading statements by politicians and others.   The radio host led her listeners through a number of probing questions that undoubtedly helped clear up many of the misunderstandings.   We talked about the wonderful work Minnesota's Twin Cities Public Television has done in creating Your Child's Inheritance: Debt and I gave a passionate appeal for the listeners in centeral Minnesota to show up at the town hall meetings of their elected officials and demand that they do somethong -- for the sake of our kids and grandkids!
