"For society as a whole, nothing comes as a 'right' to which we are 'entitled'. Even bare subsistence has to be produced.... The only way anyone can have a right to something that has to be produced is to force someone else to produce it... The more things are provided as rights, the less the recipients have to work and the more the providers have to carry the load." Thomas Sowell, quoted in Forbes and Reader's Digest.

it is fiscally irresponsible to invest 100% of your retirement
portfolio in non-marketable Treasury bonds, which
is what the "SS trust fund" does.

Bush started pushing SS privatization in early 2005,

when the Dow was 3000 points less than it is now!

when the S+P was 300 points less than it is now!

your beloved "SS Trust Fund" could have appreciated by
25%-30% if Bush's advice had been followed.
