I am not amused at their selfish, immoral criticism of the privatising portion of saving social security

Dittos on that, OldFriend.

I am still stunned that anyone would oppose having a portion of their retirement in stocks and bonds, rather than an empty promise from the govt.

These Democrats oldsters (and some youngsters) are so nutty they would rather rely on a POSSIBLE promise from some future government to pay less benefits when they could have REAL LIFE stocks and bonds in their personal savings acount RIGHT NOW.

AARP is in the business of selling insurance policies and annuities.

This privatization directly competes with their own business.
