>> Those have been the returns over long periods of time...... Right. That's the idea. These funds are available for LONG periods of time. That's why the markets are the appropriate place for them. For me, a more reasonable alternative is to do budget allocations over a period of time until SS is sufficiently funded. You can't do that. Sustaining the current benefit payouts 40 years from now would require a 50% payroll tax JUST FOR SOCIAL SECURITY. Not counting Medicare or the general revenue funds.
