When will Republicans try to sell us on the old notion of investing our Social Security in the stock market?

Like it has been said before. This is a great time to invest if your smart about it. Stocks are cheap and when they go up you're going to see some nice profits. But no Republicans have talked about doing this in a long, long time so this is a non-issue. It is actually not a bad idea to allow us to control some of it. The proposal was not that bad but the social-crats got upset that the people may actually have a little say so over the government hole that is social security.

Pay no attention to the clown in the Oval Office.......listen to me rant about a non-issue involving the Republicans.

Unfortunately if you think you're going to have an Social Security left by the time you retire, you're sorely mistaken.

Let's see. We currently put the money in the US General Fund where politicians spend it on EARMARKS! So all we have from a return on investment point of view is IOU's.

So the question should be. Should we invest it in the stock market to keep the money away from the politicians so they don't spend it?

That was a few guys, move on will you. Jeez.

Hey remember when Clinton stole tens of billions from Social Security and made idiots think he had magically balanced the budget and had a surplus when he didn't really.
