I disagree with you about the outright confiscation of personal retirement funds.

The more likely -- and feasible -- approach to "saving" Social Security is what we are seeing right now:

1. Pretend the system is solvent without any changes.

2. Erode the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar through inflation.

3. Artificially underreport the rate of inflation so that Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) don't keep up with the real inflation rate.

4. Import tens of millions of immigrants from Third World dumps who will subsidize the retirement of existing Americans through: (A) paying future payroll taxes, and/or (B) accepting a reduced standard of living to place downward pressure on living costs for U.S. retirees.

I get why it seems unlikely. All I can say is literally they have put forth at least one bill in congress to do just what I said.

I would be careful dismissing it out of hand.

First thing socialist do once power if secured is confiscate all saved personals wealth.
