Did you make a bundle in the stock market? Have your cd's, money markets & savings bonds escalated lately? Mine havent. I really don't want my SS money invested in those things. Yes, it's true, old people want to play it safe with their SS. For some, it's all they have to depend on.

How do you think privatizing social security will bring in billions of dollars in revenue for the government?

sure they would. that would disprove the clinton taxation of social security and the largest tax increase in us history again passed by the clintons. usually liberal extremists trumpet the budget surplus to the cliintons when in actuality it was a result from the reagan tax cuts. they will never understand there is nothing wrong illegal or immoral about giving the taxpayer more control and revenue from what they legitimately earn. its called consumer spending and does much more good than confiscatory taxes and failed welfare schemes.

They probably would but it's not going to happen because people are afraid to take a chance and the government doesn't want to give up their hold on all the retired people in the U.S.

What are you talking about, privatization would mean people would be free. We can't have that. How else are we supposed to control their lives and buy their votes if we aren't forcing them into our programs?
