Americans: No borrowing for private accounts
Well, 2/3rds of them, anyway:
In the March 15-17 poll, Time asked respondents if they favored or opposed Bush's plan if the government had to borrow as much as $2 trillion to pay for the transition as payroll taxes, which are used to pay benefits for retirees, are diverted into personal accounts. Fully 67 percent of those polled opposed the plan under those circumstances and 24 percent were in favor. Nine percent said they didn't know.
