Fifty-five percent believe that it=92s a bad idea to
allow workers to invest their Social Security contributions in the
stock
market, while 35 percent think it=92s a good idea. That=92s a drop from the

February survey, which found that 51 percent opposed Bush=92s plan versus

40 percent who supported it. =93Opinions are hardening, and they are
hardening in a way that makes Bush=92s job more difficult,=94

Dr. Mr Price, Mr. Waterhouse, Mr. Smith, Mr. Barney, et al

I regret to inform you that the campaign to divert
about 1/4 of Social Security collections and tens of millions of
unsophisticated investors to your firms seems to be running up against
a political wall. Naturally, this was not what we had in mind when you
all contributed so generously to my landslide victory over the
traitorous Socialist Kerry last November. However, unlike the previous
occupant of my office, I believe that what "is", is.

Please be assured that although you may not be acquiring tens of
millions of additional Ma & PA accounts to churn for commissions, your
contributions are highly appreciated and will not be forgotten.

Good news for you all: You make money whether the economy is improving
or declining as people rush into, or out of securities. We have reason
to believe that the economy will change drastically as the
welfare-level interest rates return to normal and Americans become
accustomed to the appropriate price to pay for a bbl of Texas crude
oil. It is certain that the spiralling deficit will accelerate the
impending chaos. While I may not have been able to deliver the SS money
to your brokerage firms as promised, please be assured that I am doing
everything I can on your behalf.

All my best,

George
