Aren't you glad that Social Security isn't tied to the stock market?

Not really, the stock market will come back and your SS will still be paying out your little pittance.

Social security currently is bankrupt. Reason being is that all of the money goes in the general fund and Obama is spending it. This leave Social Security with a big worthless IOU from Uncle Sam.

I 20 to 30 years the stock market would have generated about a 10 to 15% ROI. That is Return on Investment. You could have passed your earnings onto your children under Bush's plan. But you must not have read Bush's plan. You are a whiner.

It wasnt supposed to be tied to the stock market, but to 4-5 percent bonds. Which are still doing well.

It' still tied to government, which is nothing but a corrupt, inefficient ponzi scheme.
