I'm fascinated that cheerleaders for this riip-off can't advocate leaving the
system alone and simply investing four percent of their own funds in any
method of their own choosing. How about in gold, for instance, to offset
risks to the solvency of the US dollar. Gold has risen from $250's per ounce
in the early days of the Bushco to $425's now. That's a great return on the
world's "no confidence" vote of Bush's tenure.
If there is so much optimism about great future returns in the stock market,
why don't the "personal account" advocated all get part time jobs to
supplement their incomes and pump the extra cash into investments ?
Maybe they expect that the investment returns will require an investment
bubble that overvalues stocks due to the influx from Bush's planned SSA
wealth transfer, and without it, stocks won't run to irrational heights.
Anyone below retirement age is entitled to
SSA disability benefits if he becomes legitmately unable to work. That
disability insurance coverage isn't even ackowleged in these debates.
