> You know Bush wanted to try to privatize part of our social security benefits, but of course, the Democrats went nuts. And rightly so, because Bush's "plan" was totally half-baked in that it refused to acknowledge that putting current receipts into private accounts would leave massive unfunded liabilities to people who are counting a SS today. Further, my opinion is that while a privatized system would likely work out better for a committed and knowledgable investor like you (as well as the majority of well-off people who support Bush), what do you propose to do about people who will never make enough money in their lifetimes to save for a decent retirement? Let them eat dirt?
