Obama and Democrats, Not Republicans, Need to Answer for Debt Ceiling

[Cancel 2016.2]

For Apple:

The proposal strengthens this important retirement program and makes it sustainable for the long term.

Preserves the existing Social Security program for those 55 or older.

Offers workers under 55 the option of investing over one third of their current Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts, similar to the Thrift Savings Plan available to Federal employees. Includes a property right so they can pass on these assets to their heirs, and a guarantee that individuals will not lose a dollar they contribute to their accounts, even after inflation.

Makes the program permanently solvent – according to the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] – by combining a more realistic measure of growth in Social Security’s initial benefits, with an eventual modernization of the retirement age.

The above is part of Paul Ryan's plan.

Do note the 1/3 portion.

Do note the over 55 portion.

Not quite the same thing the fear mongers portray when discussing privatization now is it?
