It?s a term most linked with Bush's plan around privatizing Social Security, but the current political philosophy of an "ownership society" stretches to home buying, health care, even education. Although this idea is nothing new, it still has it ardent supporters and fervent detractors. We'll explore the ideas around the ownership society, what it means and what it says about the political ideology of those who are for and against it. Laura's guests are Charles Arlinghaus, President of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy. Joe Keefe, Former Chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party and President of New Circle Communications and Dean Spiliotes, Research Fellow for the Department of Politics at Saint Anselm College
