And what happens when the Jim Cramers of the world gamble away with your retirement investment ins unsound financial instruments, as occurred in the 2008 credit default swap crisis, and your retirement investment disappears.
That's the lie to the free market fundamentalist on privatizing SS. That doing so would return far greater profits at no risk and that SS is a retirement or pension plan when in fact SS is and has always been intended to be supplemental insurance.
SS, has functioned largely as it was intended to and has been a spectacular success at keeping seniors out of poverty in their retirements years. it's future short falls are easily fix as SS does not contribute to any of our current budget short falls. Those who argue otherwise have a vested financial reason to argue otherwise. One would be foolish and short sighted to listen to them.
