The two acronyms are fairly obvious: American Association of Retired People and Consumers Union.
Two years ago I announced my intention to start an anti-AARP organization. The AARP fails to understand the need to provide some form of Social Security for a young generation just entering the labor force. AARP is blindly fighting all viable suggestions on the false believe that it will hurt the current SSI recipients. AARP succeeds in creating a generation that might very well take funds away from current SSI recipients unless an alternative is built.
Consumers Union's problem is that they don't do anything. The CU is a seventy year old organization founded by Marxist, union organizers and other cookie cutter Lefties of the mid-1930s. Aside from publishing Consumer Reports, the organization fights a hundred trivial battles you never hear of.
I'm announcing the formation of the Real Consumers Union that will represent real consumers. Real consumers want lower prices, higher quality, more retail innovation, a far greater variety of products and services and much more shopping.
Real consumers who know their own interests are rabidly in favor of NAFTA, the WTO, expanded global trade, more free trade agreements, reduced tariffs and significant expansion of outsourcing. We certainly don't hear any advocacy groups tooting those horns.
