The liberals in the media are doing it on purpose to make it seem like the message is unclear. I understand completely what the plan is about and I'm not buying the media spin. The media is setting up some pols for a big fall with the push polls because most people are paying attention to what's going on. Don't believe the hype.
not once have I heard Bush liken the plan to 401Ks - which are very popular, and which people understand. There have to be details - the investment options available, how much of a reduction in future SS benefits am I going to commit to as a swap to use some of my tax $$$s for my personal account, etc. Some charts showing rates of return and savings over a lifetime, how much will be in a person's account when they reach 65 years of age, etc. If Bush doesn't want to be the pitch man, hire an ad agency and run a media campaign with these kinds of details.
