The only immediate and radical change in the program that should happen is immediate dissolvement of this scheme. Perhaps if conservatives ever come into positions of power within the government it may happen

I totally agree that the current SS system should be disbanded. We may be able to do that gradually.

I do wonder about one thing, however. I honestly believe that this "private account" thing is a pre-emptive strike to avoid an absolute collapse of the stock market. Think about it...with millions of baby-boomers (who are heavily invested) about to start taking money out of the market for retirement funds...it will implode.

Is this not a possibility, or am I way off base?
