We need to privatize the system or do away with it period. I'd like to keep that money each week and do what I want to do with it, not send it to Washington for them to blow Our government spent all the money in social security on other things.

New retirees and those soon to retire would not be affected. Besides, since the crash of 2008-2009 the market has bounced back quite a lot. If those funds were continuously invested during the low point then the return would be greater. Robert,

Bush’s plan would only have put a portion of the SS funds into the stock market – the portion meant for people who will retire in 15 years or more. New retirees and those soon to retire would not be affected.

Besides, since the crash of 2008-2009 the market has bounced back quite a lot. If those funds were continuously invested during the low point then the return would be greater.

It is going to take leadership. We are going to have to address the problems in a practical way. We have done it before in this country and I believe we can do it again. When we as Americans address problems head on we solve them. “the prospect looks dim indeed”

We'd have been completely wiped out in the 2008 stock market crash. At least as things are, we still have enough funds to pay for current retirees..

I mean, the government can't let the SS program fail because of all the people who depend on it and who have paid into it. But at the same time, it has to fail eventually, right? It's kind of like a huge Ponzi scheme, in which the newer members pay for the older ones. The situation with social security is really becoming a mess.
