How does everyone feel about tying Social Security to the stock market?

[frangul]

For just what happened to market prices is reason not to tie Social Security to the stock market. The government won't let it go belly up because the results would be a disaster. Fortunately, the 401k and ira's will supplement any pensions for future retirees with maybe a lesser amount from Social Security. For baby boomers, those vehicles were not in place early enough for the growth/time factors to be advantageous. We hear more about saving and preparing for our golden years so more of us will be prepared and have a plan.
