I have no idea how the working and middle classes will be able to afford Bush's policies.

Take the Health Savings Accounts, for example. A family will be "expected" to put away more than $800 a month to fund a $10,200 annual HSA. That's like a second mortgage or rent payment. How are people supposed to buy food? Keep a roof over their heads? Pay the electric bill?

Privately-funded retirement? How many people do you know who have the extra cash and acumen to benefit from such a scheme?
