Re: your 6 Feb 2005 6:12 PM post regarding the wonders of Bush's Social Security "reform" as seen in similar programs overseas

You might want to check the Wall St Journal (that leftist rag) article 3 Feb 2005 on the supposed international success of similar plans.   The Journal article points out the serious problems experienced, including in Chile, the supposed poster child for the idea.
The Journal article also notes that Chile started its program at the start of a long stock boom. Tell me that's the case now in the US, with stocks near a 3 year peak and p/e 's high.

Sounds like I should resurrect the Social Security "Reform"? thread again.

But it's good to have your posts--we haven't had an articulate spokesman for any of Bush's program since the dear dead days of Teribus.
