Should scrapping social security be part of the bail out plan?

[neuroticwilly]

are you kidding! socialist security is so embedded in our expectations there would be a grey panther revolution! and, rightfully so. a person works 30 years and is forced to put 7 1/2% of his income in the program, his employer must match that fund, so, at LEAST 7 1/2% of employees' money "belongs" to the worker, but it is being held hostage by the government, he may, or may not get some of the employers' contribution in the form of a pay raise, bonus, etc. last number that i saw that money is earning <1.5% R.O.I. poor by any standards! but, that's out government at work ! the money has already been spent, it funded the "great society" and other boondoggles. if the government had 1 ounce ofintegrityy they would allow younger workers to have more options, and more control over THEIR money, but thegovernmentt has nointegrityy, so it ain't gonna happen, young workers! you're screwed just like the rest of us!!
