Better to use a small percentage of incoming SS money to buy stocks, which I suspect would take the heat off that account going broke.
It would be interesting to see some stats if the government invested, say 5% or even 1% of SS receipts into the market in the last 10 or 20 years. Pick any number. I’ll warrant SS would have been in a lot better shape by now.
Buy stocks with Social Security receipts?
I would have grave concerns if the Federal Government did that.
