Everything you say is true, but...Government will not fix the problem. Their proposals only divert money into private accounts where they can collect more fees and taxes. Isn't this the same disaster they tried in Great Britain?

More fees and taxes sure, but from a much greater revenue base because private accounts have far greater returns. Add to that that doing that will insure SS solvency. Its a far better plan than doing nothing. Government is never the solution to the problem, but at least economists are at the controls of that side of the debate in this case, and its definitely a step in the right direction. Even Red China uses a similar system now, what does that tell you about private accounts???
