"personal accounts=moral hazard?"

Unbelievable ain't it? What is the hazard in giving someone a small portion of his OWN FREAKING MONEY?
Money you can pass along to whomever you want to. Someone help me...How much is it we are allowed to pass on now? Who gets that money if we die early? Oh wait....

Then they whine about the market as if a down day has anything to do with it. Your money will be in an account that you cannot access for at least 50 FREAKING YEARS!

For 50 years that money will grow, and keep growing. Even if you left it in bonds it will be far more then you get now in benefits.

Sorry but I had to rant.

Your rant sounded better than my one sentence question---

First of all SS is not supposed to be someone's only retirement fund, but if it is, it would be so much better if they had some control over it, like the Thrift Funds that the CONGRESSCRITTERS GET!!!!
