I do support privatization --- have for years. (Just not the muddled and ultimately ineffectual stuff I've heard from the administration thus far....) The Pollock proposal to IMMEDIATELY create private SS accounts (not 'some years in the future after the administration has left office:) by depositing TIPS into individual accounts --- and later allowing diversification out of TIPS by exchanging them for other investments is one of the better plans I've heard thus far. I believe that Krauthammer's column recently mentioned it.... As far as 'imminent', I believe that the Medicare/Medicaid mess and the twin deficits are far more serious --- and "imminent". So, why should I fall for a shell game?
