"One way to force the govt OFF THE DIME would be to IMMEDIATELY require all current SS monies paid in to PAY FOR IN CASH for treasury bonds thus eliminating current receipts from the general fund. THEN we would lock in the existing govt DEBT which is UNSECURED by anything other then an IOU from one pocket to the other. Then slash all spending enough of a percentage to offsett the current cost of paying current retirees." EXCELLENT PLAN! HONEST PLAN! (And, it'll never happen with the current crowd in Washington... both Congress AND the White House. They are TOO INVESTED in the THIEVERY.) "Incidentally, regarding privatization, for those opposed, can you explain why FEDERAL govt employees get PRIVATE PLANS and are EXEMPT from SS? jdn" Sure! They wanted to give themselves something BETTER then what the general public got.... (IMO, all those superior government plans should be rolled into SS --- let everybody be rowing in the same boat!)
