I'd be happy with a transition to personal retirement accounts, state control (as opposed to federal control), and conversion to an opt-in/opt-out program. I would opt out in a heartbeat (I'm 39). :-)
Yes,
but you probably have invested money for your retirement. While much of the united states did not think about it that far in advance. Personally I think I am going to start retirement fund during the next semester that I intern.
I suggest we suggest investing some of the SSI into big oil, then watch the liberals heads explode...
