Letter Of The Day

and speaking of letters, our winner today for the Letter of the Day:

President Bush must be living in a fantasy world. He claimed in Cedar Rapids on March 30 that his call for changing Social Security is gaining ground ("In Iowa, President Touts Plan for Social Security," March 31).

Several public-opinion polls prove him wrong, and U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said the public is "not closer in buying into personal accounts."

Grassley knows voters will reward, not punish, any politician who works to shore up Social Security rather than establish personal accounts that will only siphon money away from the program.
