The "Ownership Society"

While the war on terror and security continue to dominate this election, this article points out that President Bush has a vision and a plan to take our country in a new direction - toward "Ownership":

"Since 9/11, discussion of the current President Bush's vision has been primarily limited to foreign policy and the Bush doctrine of 'preemption.' But while foreign policy has legitimately dominated, President Bush has quietly pieced together a domestic policy vision that has just as much chance to be revolutionary.

While Franklin Delano Roosevelt had his New Deal and Lyndon Baines Johnson had the Great Society, it is becoming increasingly clear that Bush wants to create an 'ownership society.'"

Ownership would not be limited to home or property ownership, but freedom, independence and control of your financial future for retirement and health insurance. These reforms are necessary to adapt to the changing world economy. Unlike John Kerry, who'd prefer status quo, George Bush recognizes the dangers of waiting until it's too late and has a plan.
