What if Bush had succeeded in flipping social security to the stock market?

The stock market will rebound. The Bush plan did not include anyone over 50 and so the older ones among us would still receive social security. The plan was not to take all the social security money and put it into the stock market only part which would have given those younger workers the advantage of some secure money as well as the advantage of the greater money in the stock market.
I am almost 62 and I know that social security will run out before I die and maybe before I retire at 66 so just how secure am I? That is why I have scrimped and saved to have money when I retire and why I will work as long as possible to make that money last.
