The compliant media have been publicizing and lauding the recent Social Security increase, the largest in recent years. But of course they have let slide, silent and unmentioned, the accompanying raise in Medicare deductions, taking back much of what they have so grudgingly given.

The full phrase is girding your loins with truth and putting on a breastplate of righteousness before going into battle for a just cause. That sounds like good advice to me; we're going to be standing in the full brunt of a storm of truthiness in the near future as TPTB and media elites 'splain to all the Little People why we can't have nice things like healthcare and retirement with dignity.
