I am suspicious of his motivations--looks to me like private accounts are
good for Wall Street. In fairness, it also seems it might bolster
investment capital for American business. I am glad that he has opened the
discussion.
As for fooling people, he and Rove are masters. They use fear very
successfully and only retreat to lesser motivations when forced: first use
the mushroom cloud and WMD, when that is seriously questioned, retreat to
removing a tyrant and spreading democracy. And never, NEVER, admit you were
wrong.
