Hey slider.. you never answered my question about social security funds.. I am thinking I have come up with a brilliant idea and I'm not sure why nobody has thought about it. since you have banking knowledge I thought maybe you could help..

my idea is this... according to the government.. social security funds only acrue interest of 2% per year.. So why don't they just invest social security money in zero coupon bonds or other treasuries. they could pay the social security beneficiaries,( all us citizens ) a much higher rate of return on our social security, witholdings...

what am I missing here.. I asked you because you seem to know a whole lot more than me about macro economic theory and banking..

thanks in advance..
