"If the Republicans would simply offer up a plan which would allow for personal ownership of the Treasury notes which ostensibly support Social Security, retirees would have an estate value to their benefit. Any residual amount could be passed on to heirs upon death as is done with all other retirement plans. Democrats would have to argue against such a plan and they would be shown to be the greedy, selfish ba$tard$ we all know them to be. Perhaps at least the independent voters would realize that the dems are only looking to keep people as servants of government."
This is not an idea I have heard of before. It's pretty darn good. Thank you, Sergeant, for posting this.
QE-I, Thanks. My intent is only to lay bare the arguments of the wacky, fraudulent left. If the facts are as the democrats state, that we are
investing in our own retirements, surely fairness dictates that one should own that which he has contributed. Of course
We realize that there really is no money in Social Security - it is really the longest-running and largest-ever ponzi scheme devised. The far left knows if ownership of the "bonds" ever passed to the retiree, there would be no more lavish spending designed to elicit votes. They would be caught fighting against giving the common guy his own money.
Republicans will have none of this though. It would be called too divisive by the press and the lazy Republicans in Congress would quiet.
