Republicans and Democrats can we all agree with an individual opt out system for social security?

It sounds good on the surface but the reality of it is that people who will soon begin using it have paid into it all their lives but now depend on the younger working people to fund their social security payments. If people opt out before the boomer generation is gone, there won't be enough money for their social security. In other words, there is no way to do that without throwing millions of people into severe poverty through no fault of their own. It might have been possible if the social security trust fund hadn't been robbed for many years and thrown into the general fund replaced by IOU's. No way at this point. It doesn't do any good to argue points like this or point fingers at one party or the other. Reality bites.
