Sununu again. The press LOVES that family. What do the Sununus have going on with the press corps?

Every poll I've seen shows strong support except among the elderly for such accounts. A Zogby poll cited by Gingrich in his new book, Winning the Future, found that 68 percent of Americans favor "changing the system" to allow for investment accounts

It must be the very elderly who dislike investment accounts. Anyone who was able to invest in IRA's or the like starting in the 80's knows how much better they are than the SS Ponzi scheme.

AARP speaks only for its own Board and paid staff. It does NOT speak for its 35 million members. The disconnect is much the same as between union leaders and union members. In AARP as in the unions, a proper approach can split the wrong few from the right many.

I deal with this subject in my column for this week. Click below.

Why just stocks and bonds? I prefer real estate. Others may prefer to invest in private mortgages.

...One House Republican vigorously wooed a young Democratic reformer, but the Democrat backed away at the insistence of House minority leader Nancy Pelosi...

I'd really like to see this young House Democrat get on board again. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it was Harold Ford, Jr. I think that I'll write him...suck up a little...praise him a little for being a good moderate voice within his own party...tell him that I like watching/listening to him when he comes on the cable channels...see if it makes any difference.
