SS was a fail idea purposed by a fail president. It was doomed from the start. A simple glance at a population distribution graph of nearly any developed country would have shown that SS was fucked many years ago.
I see the problem with privatizing SS in that dumbass people would "gamble" with their money and loose, but if you could limit the securities that people could buy to low-risk (or risk-free) and small, yet stable return for the long haul, wouldn't it be a better system than what we have now? Let's face it, it's a broke ass system that needs fixed. Anything would be better, even nothing at all.
These god damn old people are bleeding us dry, not just with SS, but medicare, too. And the sad thing is, most of them are probably senile, like my grandparents.
