Staying the course, right over the cliff

The Boston Globe has an article today titled “Some skeptical as Bush sell Social Security plan” that starts out with this graf: “Just a few miles from the cavernous airplane hangar where President Bush told 1,000 cheering supporters about his plan to save Social Security yesterday, Pamela Cawley, working at a sub shop downtown, said she cannot imagine handing over a portion of her retirement into a private investment account.”

Later in the article, Pam C. is quoted: “Cawley, for example, said she believes there is "no chance of my Social Security being there when I'm ready to retire.””

Baffling.
