>Forcing everyone who works hard for their money to pay into a system that only gives them a .86% return is criminal. It's not like the government is taking all of their money. That just isn't the case. It's a relatively small percentage of it to give us something to live on later on, just in case. We're free to do whatever we want with the rest of our money. -Z

re: If you are old, then you know as well as I do that Bush isn't the first to run a deficit and he certainly won't be the last. He set the record. It's hitting crisis stage, as a percent of GP.

Much, much more than that if you die at 90 years old. Privatization would probably work great if we put everyone to death at 72. John
