[PEN-L:4157] Re: Slipping Postmodernism into pen-l?

[Tom Lehman <uswa12@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mike,

Caught a few minutes of  some cat named Henry Aaron from the Brookings
Institue on Chicago TV explaning how the Clinton Social Security
privatization plan would invest in the stock market via a mechanism similar
to the Federal Reserve Board.  This didn't go far enough to please a Dr.
Feldstein of Harvard.  Also, Mr. Larry Summers telling congress that he
didn't have anything in writing for them concerning Clinton's Social
Security plans.

Your email pal,

Tom L.
