A recent caller on C-Span noted that Bush was using fuzzy math. Relative to Bush's glorification of his proposal to allow folks to invest part of their Social Security money into the stock market, the C-Span caller noted that a person earning 50K yearly would, under Bush's proposal, only be able to invest $125 a year into the market. Now there's a tidy sum that'll go a long-long way! With that kind of investment power it's likely such money would get dumped into a penny stock, and eventually find its way into someone else's, other than the investor's own, pocket.

I've not confirmed the C-Span caller's numbers--anyone got the skinny on this?
