This will drive the Socialist/Leftists nuts! --Imagine the power this basic concept will give the individual....and the fear the Unions have of such an idea. <<By giving individuals control of their own retraining, their own savings and their own homes, he hopes to inculcate self-reliance, industriousness and responsibility.>> IMO, this is the worst of both worlds. We still have the awful leftie notion of government taking care of people rather than people doing for themselves. You don't inculcate self-reliance by relying on government. If Bush intends this approach to be a transition to actual self-reliance with a sunset provision, that's great, but if not... The right giving credence to more social programs is like throwing in the towel, IMO. If we want to inculcate responsibility, we need less paternalism, not more. Shades of "1984," methinks.
