I'd let them keep all of mine to date if they'd let me out now...

Nancy Pelosi, Dumbass-Calif. ``This is the equivalent of forcing seniors today to live at a 1940s standard of living.''
..it was never supposed to be to enough to retire on, it was to be as it was called, "supplemental" income.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., ``Young people today recognize it's their money they're putting into Social Security,'' Frist said Tuesday on CNN. ``They own that money."

He's wrong, too . Any money that goes to Washington has a great chance of never coming back.ever.

I love how Pelosi glosses over the fact that to keep things as they are, she'd force people who are still paying into the system to live at a 1940s standard of living.

I am with you--don't reform it with these stupid accounts. END IT NOW. LET US OUT! YOU CAN KEEP ALL THE MONEY, and even cash out the seniors with big fat checks! JUST LET US GO!

Even Ponzi didn't MAKE people pay in at the point of a gun.

Ditto that. I'd gladly turn over every cent "invested" in my SS account for the past 20+ years if we could go to private accounts. In a heart beat. I'd come out ahead, too. Way ahead.
