re: The key to saving SS is to get the investment returns up to 7% rather than the current levels, and to have the money growing over an extended period of 100 years. Privatization, in stages, will allow this to happen. It is a matter of providing some necessary bridge funding now, perhaps a couple trillion, in order to avoid a $60 trillion problem down the road. So you plan to privatize all of SS in increments? That's going to be a hell of a lot more than $2Trillion. Where are you going to get the money? Without raising taxes? There is no $60Trillion problem (if you had your way we would create one). There is a future problem at the margin that is easily solved. Since your "conservative" (hahaha) values are so incensed by SS, which is currently running a surplus, why are you not wringing your panties out over the Bush budget, which is currently running at a record deficit?
