Amy,

re: Am still having a hard time understanding how horse upkeep could cost $14k per year - she broke down the figures for me and it sounded like she was getting ripped off by the boarder.

Owning a horse can be expensive... but 14K sounds high. As with anything, you get different prices for different levels of service.

Amy, The best person to trust with your money is you. Not the government.

Once again, I agree. So what do you think about Bush's proposal to allow people to put part of their Social Security into securities or other investments? Critics say that it's not possible because that money is needed to directly pay off the benefits of the current seniors, and Democrats take it one step further and accuse Bush of wanting to starve seniors.

She is obviously a perfect candidate for forced savings, and could be so much better off in life as a result.

It makes me nervous when people start talking about having the government exert a lot more control over mentally competent adults for their own good.
