SSI was never meant to be an investment. Its insurance.
I don't know why that was so hard to figure out for some.

Well if you think about it, it only would have happened if the dems didn't win in 2006, and then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

Look at it this way... The market is down 40% so we would have theoretically lost 40% & have 60% left. But what really happened is Washington spent it ALL so its all gone. There is nothing left

you are assuming that there is a social security trust fund, there is not any such trust fund. the politicians spent all of the money that was supposed to be held over for social security benefits.

First of all it would not have been put into stocks directly. I would be like a HUGE money market acount with managers who do this stuff everyday. My money market and Ira are both up. and he was saying you would have a choice. so you would not have to do it if you didn't want to.
