You’re willing to end social security outright?
End it the fair way-calculate the total amount paid in by anyone who isn’t getting SS yet, give it the current rate of interest and write us each a check for the amount plus the interest we each paid in. I’m pretty sure that you and I, and most everyone else could invest that amount and get a much better interest rate on our own. I’d rather trust an investment that I make with my earnings, wouldn’t you?
But I’m sure most people would rather just keep giving the government money to throw away-SS isn’t protected, you know-it is in the general (slush) fund, and is raided every time daddy govt needs money-we allk know what happens to banks or investment firms who do that...
