We usually only saw them during the campaign when either he or Bush were in town... The St. Louis paper has a little article talking about how the main social security site has, in its frequently asked questions, a piece about why it is not a good idea to take your money and to invest it yourself (apparently that Q and A has been there for several years). The Social Security Administration dodged the question regarding it simply stating that the site was 'not political' and there simply to answer questions...
