"...a personal retirement account. There is such resistance against it..."

Is there really, though?! It's an optional thing, and those who've been paying into the system all these years can just keep with Social Security as presently configgered. We've made this promise to our seniors and no one is proposing we abandon our obligations to them...however, we could still offer a better deal to folks in their 40's, 30's, and 20's. Eventually, I'd like to see us allowing folks to achieve some "minimum nest egg" amount, and get outta the FICA payments altogether.

I agree with you entirely. The resistance I spoke of was mostly out of the demoncrats...you'd think we were proposing the plague.
