mm....twenty years ago, I was saying the same thing you are now. It wasn't funny back then. It isn't now. Today, I'm three years from going on the teat. Believe me, The Sacred Cow will give milk for many years to come. Privatization (in the form of private investment options) will, sooner or later, make sense to those inside the Beltway. And its not a Dems vs. the Republicans. Don't worry!

In Colorado, you deposit araound 8.?% from your pay, and the states amount is around 11.? percent. PERA in Colorado is on of the top ranked "funds" in the US. Don't pour your money down the rat-tube know as social security! PERA = public employees retirement association. Signed, Retired since 04/2000 and loving every minute of it!
