What are the alternatives to privatizing Social Security? - Fbomonkey Returns - 10-12-2012 09:51 PM
I know that privatizing SS into the stock market is not a perfect solution but I have yet to hear any alternatives. As of this year SS spends more than it takes in and in less than 10 years it will be bankrupt. If all you have to say is, "eliminate wasteful spending and fraud," then take that noise else where because the government will never be able to do it.
So lay it on me, what are some alternatives to the stock market?

The government uses taxes and administers it.

You save for your retirement. If you don't, you suffer the consequences.

Start phasing it out completely.
Let people entering the work force today keep their money and plan for their own retirement.

Under your mattress would be better than the benefits you'll receive in a lifetime. The numbers do not justify the program. Amazing how idiots say we cannot risk our savings in the Market, so instead support a guaranteed loss through the government.
The programs takes 12.4% of the working poor's wages. Why don't the Liberals understand that the government is keeping them poor? Not inheritable savings. No wonder they never escape poverty.

...not privatizing it?
Saying it should be privatized because the government is pilfering it is not a logical plan of action. That's like saying the bank is stealing from my savings so I'll keep my money under my bed. Wrong, if the bank starts stealing your money, you sue the shit out of the bank!
America's government gets away with doing whatever they want because Americans don't hold the government responsible for anything. You sit around pointing the finger at each other, "It's the Republicans fault", "No, it's the Democrats". Both wrong, it's the government. All your leaders have been abusing your social security program for years and if you don't get angry and demand they stop, they're not going to.
