Even their official statement makes no sense: "Taking some of the money that workers pay into the system and diverting it into newly created private accounts would weaken Social Security and put benefits for future generations at risk,"
Future generations won't need SS benefits if we are allowed to save/invest instead of having forced contributions to a dead-end program. Please...some AARP Freeper out there explain to me how am I supposed to secure MY retirement, when I am forced to contribute to YOURS? Obviously didn't bother to invest or save when you were in your earning years if you are now living on SS benefits.
