>.So..you can leave it in Treasuries or you can put it in Treasuries. Some will surely opt to put it in Treasuries and lose money, sic, that way they feel like they have "control". This is the best idea ive heard in years. You need to take time out from your life and become a public servant.... My God Man. If we'r going to bother to take the money and default on the bonds. Why stop there. Lets default on our house and car and all the money for equipment we just borrow a couple years ago. God Bless America. They can print more. United we stand and all.

If you put your 'privatized' money into treasuries, you can now pay the administrative costs ($2 TRILLION) for the rest of eternity. So, under Bush's plan the following applies: - Say 100% of the people opt for treasuries given the flat stock market (do you believe we're in a 20 year bear?) - Government cuts benefits up to 40% (I've heard 75% as well) - Government gets into debt for $2 Trillion to do what it already does without the $2 Trillion. - SS becomes a 'welfare' program - Middle and Upper Middle income people increase their retirement risk - US increases debt by 25%. Wall Street can't find enough places to put all that extra commission and fee money so they send it overseas. Can ANY REPUBLICAN DO THE MATH?
