>We need to wise up and create a 401K style social security system where what you put in will be what you'll get out of it, plus earnings.

The biggest problem is, when you ask people who live paycheck to paycheck or meal to meal to save voluntarily, they won't. You can say "well, that's their problem," but realistically, you end up with more people starving and on the street at 70 years old. We just can't have that, no matter whose fault it is.

Our current system is fine, as long as the government doesn't spend the money meant for Social Security on other things, Social Security should be OK. Seems to be a lot to ask though.

Gore was right about the lockbox, even if he sounded awfully stupid saying it.
