Would privatizing Social Security to allow individuals to invest in the stock market be a good idea? - NONAME - 10-14-2012 02:51 PM
Would it just create a group of citizens that are a burden to society being too old to work and to poor to support themselves due to bad investment choices?
Jules: You make my point exactly.

It would be the best thing the government did since privatizing the internet. Seriously.

The option should be there. Some need the government to tell them what to do and others can handle their own finances just fine.

Imagine the bailout that would be needed if social security was part of the current mess.

Yes, but I think they should have more options than just the stock market.

Nope, I got one that I have been investing for over twenty years and I have just about lost everything.

LOL....um yeah sure...if you feel safe doing it after last week. Why
not?!
I think in the long run yes...but with restrictions.

What about all the idiots who lose all their social security money in the stock market especially in a time like this. Social Security is there for "security" so you have something left to fall back on. So many people are totally irresponsible with their money and when they lose it they'll be begging for some sort of welfare.
