<The most shocking thing to me about the current Social Security Commission's "findings" is the utter lack of embarrassment to suggest that this nation rely on something as fickle as the stock market to fund old age pensions. The markets of the last two years really ought to be convince anyone with an iota of decency that this is simply a way to fleece the unsuspecting and enrich the financial industry.>

RD...spoken like a true democrat. While I have no statistical figures to base my question, I wonder what a fund started in 1984 and vested by high quality equities (ala the top 10 S&P), versus the benefits one should expect from Social Security would be today (even though the stock market roller coaster syndrome is inevitable)?

If I had my druthers, I would probably opt for the former. What about you?
