The biggest hurdle that Bush (and other reformers) have is to educate people to understand that it IS THEIR MONEY. Yes, that is true. Govt. has so long told people that "they" will take care of them, that they have a blind trust in them, and have forgotten that it IS their money. But folks tend to not look very deep sometimes. Small example. I hear folks around here talking about car payments all the time. They speak of what they can afford "monthly". They don't give a thought to the price of the car, the length of the term, the interest charged....just the bottom line payment.. That is what Bush will have to sell. I think that is the reason that algore uses "risky" 500 times a day. Folks hear risky so much they tend to shy.

bp, One of the biggest tasks of government will be to teach the newer generations some sort of fiscal responsibility. In the contacts I make, and the real estate clients my wife works with, a large percentage of the younger adults are making great salaries, and wasting almost ever cent of it. Based on salary, some of the real estate clients could afford to float a loan for a $200K, and above house, but couldn't scare up enough cash to even enter into the deal, or make a down payment. Something is very wrong here. ~H~
