Two-thirds of Americans said in polling this past week that they are uneasy about his ideas for Social Security. Acknowledging that many are wary of the stock market, Bush suggested they could invest in Treasury bonds.
The Democratic National Committee said, “If that performance was supposed to put Bush’s second term back on track, Americans are in for three-and-a-half years of great storytelling, but no real solutions to their problems. The president contradicted himself calling the bonds in Social Security worthless IOUs in a filing cabinet, but then referred to the same bonds in private accounts as backed by the full faith of the American government.”
