I have looked at privitized plans. Options are always better than one choice. The government, although well intentioned, has shown time and time again they cannot do what is best for me. Instead they group everyone together in a futile attempt of the one size fits all scenario. How many times must Americans be forced to go down the same wrong path before things change?

I am already a recipient of SS and wouldn't appreciate a cut in Benefits. I guess I could really care less what they do with future benefits. All us old farts will die off eventually and you younguns can have the world your way, but if the greedy speculators overinflate the stock market about the time for your retirement and a deep crash comes about, don't say you weren't warned. |

I personally would rather gamble with the stock market than get a losing ticket to pay for other peoples SS that I will never harvest benefits from.
The stock market is not necessarily the safest bet as we all know, mutual funds are obviously safer and people could chose to opt for that.
Anyone know the expected date that SS will run out for us younger folks?
RON PAUL REVOLUTION

It has everything to do with having options. The federal government has shown time and time again they cannot manage money or provide for it's people.

The money goes straight into my bank account on a certain day every month, same day, just like clockwork, free money,~LOL~. Do you remember the Great depression, of course not, that was when the stock market crashed and people were eating out of garbage cans. Do you think History repeats itself. The stock market at present has a giant Bubble and I'm thinking with this sub-prime thing, could burst at any time. stay tuned. |

I've talked to people about their candidates. People who support Ron Paul are more informed about the issues than other candidates supporters. Easy to understand when Ron Paul knows the issues better than any candidates and has actual plans to solve the problems that politicians have caused. There are not many politicians who weigh out the cause and effect on issues like Ron Paul.
I think you are a bit uninformed. You've twice posted a link to the same site which has incorrect information as well as said those facts check out, when they dont.
