"As I have said numerous times in the past. Deal with one problem at a time." Sure. (Some people can't multi-task, I guess. :) Makes sense to deal with the BIGGEST PROBLEMS first, though. (Why start somewhere down the list with problems? And, even if one is to 'start' with the SS 'problem', why IGNORE the BIGGER PROBLEMS? That's what I meant by 'a shell game'.) Re: "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...." The other thing commending this proposal is that it DOES NOT REQUIRE TRILLIONS IN NEW FEDERAL DEBT. Debt in those amounts would surely cause the government as many fiscal problems down the road as they are yelling that SS will. The admin's approach sounds like robbing Peter to pay Paul, to me.
