Clinton voices support for investing Social Security funds in stock market Copyright © 1998 Nando Media Copyright © 1998 The Associated Press Americans want Social Security investment option, poll shows How the poll on Social Security was conducted WASHINGTON (December 9, 1998 7:27 p.m. EST nandotimes.com) -- In private talks with lawmakers, President Clinton has for the first time said he supports using stock market investments to try to inject money into the financially troubled Social Security system. The president's comments during the Wednesday talks came after months of declining to be specific about his preferences on how to safeguard Social Security. Lawmakers left the closed-door meetings saying they have new optimism they can reach compromise on action to bolster the nation's retirement program next year. "It's a good starting point," said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Archer, R-Texas. However, Clinton has not decided how the stock market investments should be made -- by individual Americans in private accounts or by the government investing their payroll tax contributions in bulk, his advisers said.
