Lester...SS is a slush fund for congress to dip into at will, then use tax money to make SS payments.
Even putting it into a 1 or 2% fdic insured bank account will bring a better return. A CD would be even better...stocks better still. Investing in jobs and business is the way sensible people save for retirement and stimulate the economy to boot.
Dumping it into the government slush fund is a guaranteed loss.

Privatizing Social Security is the only chance to save it. IF the government stay in control of it. NO ONE currently under the age of 45 will see a dime of Social Security money.

Republicans have hated Social Security since the 1930's and only want to destroy it.

AND Social Security has a LOT of money in it's budget - and republicans want to get that into the hands of their Billionaire friends....

It's all for the Billionaires.

Or leave it there where the government will give it to someone who didn't earn it and we still wont have any.
Give it back to me if I lose it it's my fault.
If they give it away I will never see it

we aren't trying to destroy it. we're just trying to ensure that from now on, libs will keep their grubby little hands out of it.

All the same, can you look at the way that Social Security has been managed by our Government since it's inception and honestly say that you would approve of receiving more of the same?

I laughed when they said if we put SS in the stock market we'd make more.

Handling some of your own money how radical.The government pissed it all away the box is full of IOU's that is why.

Honestly I'm beginning to wonder if they really are trying to destroy this country.

They're trying SOO hard to convince us not to repeal the Bush tax cuts, even though it would add 36 billion to the deficit!! Those tax cuts are largely responsible for our debt today in the first place!
