Gordon, Now that you mention it, I do remember that being a suggestion by Clinton. I think the stink then, was that the money would be invested where the government could, too easily, get their hands on it. TP, believes that, if the people get the chance to invest their own money, they will lose it and go crying to the government when they become eligible. If they invest it, and lose only the 2%, any benefits should be reduced by that amount but, being nearly of the age, we have, and have had, a lot more sense than TP gives us credit for. Of course, we don't say that we, happily, pay our taxes out of one side of our mouth, nor do we say that we take every government farm subsidy they offer, when we have a full time job, and have no intention of farming whatever land we may own, out of the other side. Reminds me of the Roman god Janus.
