It's "Privatize" NOT "Personalize"!
I heard on TV today that the White House loses 20 points regarding Social Security "reform" approval when they use the term "Privatize" instead of "Personalize". But, that's exactly what it is-PRIVATIZATION!

And, "Privatize" is verboten per Karl Rove. He's put the word out that this terminology is NOT to be used regarding Social Security reform. Instead, he wants to use the term "Personalize".

:grr:

1. Personalize is what you do
when you bring something in to be monogrammed...not what you do when you invest in the market.

2. It's All In The Language
we need to keep talking about "risk" every time they talk about these "personal" accounts. You mean, as in Personalizing the RISK, Mr. President?

Most Americans hate the word risk.

3. It is neither "Privatize" nor "Personalize"
It is "PIRATIZE"

to convert the program from "Social Security" to "Social INsecurity"

Reemember - the issue is not "Gay Rights" but "Civil Rights" and "Tax Equity"

5. I wonder what bush crony is licking his lips
waiting to get at that SSI $$$. I'm sure some big bank or brokerage firm would love to churn those dollars.
