This is pretty interesting, actually.
"I believe everybody has the capability of being in the investor class. I like the idea of people opening up their statement on a quarterly basis and watching their asset base grow." - President Bush, speaking in Louisville about adding private investment accounts to the federal pension plan.
"I see why he's making the pitch to young people. But what he's doing with young people is saddling them with new debt on top of an existing $7 trillion national debt." U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler, a Versailles Democrat, speaking to the possibility of a $2 trillion hole created by diverting funds to private accounts.
Agree with Bush: 12%
Agree with Chandler: 83%
Other 5%: Out there somewhere.
This is Kentucky, people. One very Red state. Looks like linking the exploding national debt to Bush's Social Security scam is connecting very well for Congressman Chandler.
