You should really pay attention to Dizzy's message. Then your wisdom would begin.

I've avoided nothing, Kenneth. You attempted to change the subject. You do this constantly to avoid facing the consequences of your disingenuous and dishonest posts. As to answering your questions, I do all the time. You just don't like the answers. :) Diz-

You're just pissed because money that somebody earned,not you, would go into an account managed by them, rather than directly to your mailbox in the form of a check. In case you didn't notice, its their money, they earned it, not you.

"The evidence is conclusive that Mr. Sevan, in effectively participating in the selection of purchasers of oil under the program, placed himself in an irreconcilable conflict of interest, in violation both of specific United Nations rules and of the broad responsibility of an international civil servant to adhere to the highest standards of trust and integrity." cnn.com

As to your question, Kenneth... Let's look at the REAL facts: Bush's plan would involve "transition costs" to make up for the revenue that would go into private accounts instead of into the government's coffers. Many estimates have pegged the 10-year cost at $1 trillion to $2 trillion. But the Bush administration gave a lower estimate of those estimates, at $754 billion. That number includes $90 billion in debt service costs. The reason that estimate is lower than others is that the Bush plan is phased in, reducing the cost of the private accounts in the first few years. reuters.com. So we have a range of $754 billion to 2 trillion. Are these estimates accurate? Who knows? We are talking about estimates, Kenneth. However, unlike you, I do NOT choose to assign sinister intent to these numbers. You, on the other hand, are letting your hatred of George Bush cloud your judgment. Why am I not surprised? :) Diz-
