Thom overlooked one thing on Social Security statements when he suggested that they shouldn't be sent out. That might be applicable to showing estimated benefits; but people still need to verify the earnings posted. I don't know if it has changed but it used to be that you had 3 years to correct any errors, after 3 years errors are not corrected, even if Social Security made a mistake. That means if some of your wages are omitted or less than they should be, if you don't correct within 3 years, too bad.

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
Thom,
Washington state does have mail in ballots. I just moved here a year ago and I have been mailed ballots and you have the choice of either mailing it back or delivering it in person to your county seat. For me that would be Colfax WA which is 15 miles away so I chose to mail it in. Since a stamp is chaeper than gas.
