actually, i wish i had the opportunity to ask some questions. like, why not use the 2 trillion you plan to spend fixing this problem, into the social security fund, ensuring it forever? rather than pushing us further into debt, leading into question two, how will pushing us 2 trillion dollars further into debt cut the deficit in half? and lastly, ask him if he could show me where in the constitution, he has any right to limit the rights of the homosexual population. i would then refrence him to amendment 1, and 9, and ask him to show me.

as far as put 2 trillion into funding social security forever. You can't social security is a pay as you go, the fund would still run as the amount of workers to beneficiarys continues to skew. I DO NOT want to pay for social security, I would much rather manage my own account ... I probably wouldn't even receive an 8th of my retirement funds from social security anyways, because I am fiscally responsible. And 2 trillion dollars to fix social security?! I'v never heard numbers to that amount.

eh, basically what i was saying, was, benifiting the public by putting that 2 tril. into the fund, vs. letting people invest on their own. heres a few scenarios.

say you are a shitty investor, the portion you are allowed to invest, well you get nothing, therefore you are broke=no retirement fund.

option two is the market crashes, or a bank goes out of business, your money? gone. nada. nothing left. youre screwed.

or look at the status quo, if youre on S.S. and you get a disability, since you dont have benifits from work, (youre retired) the S.S. fund pays for these disabilities. Under the new program, you pay out of your fund, once its depleted, you have to start working again. its not logical for you to do this.

if you want to invest outside of your SS great, do it, put a few bucks aside every paycheck for a decade, and you will have a snowball effect like you want, but taking your money from SS, and risking losing it, thats wreckless.

not all is high risk man. Look at it was montana power somethin, a few years ago, this guy goes buys it out. its been a pretty steady stock in the market, millions invested. The owner goes, invests in underground piping for electric, instead of gas, runs the company into the ground. millions are lost to montana families.

i research more than you know. you should learn how the stock market works.

im almost 16. if it werent for all the brainwashed and clueless voters in the polls because of their moral 'values', bush would not be president. i think volklpro is kicking some ass in this thread, it makes sense. i will answer the question though: if he converts the system to privately run, than a bunch of companies get a share in the profits
And get this, on the news the other day they did a big story about old people dropping dead from heat exhaustion. They urged my community to donate fans to keep them alive!! Tell you what, I'll donate my pubes to shove in their mouths, but I'll be damned if I donate anything electrical or useful. - random net person that i found on a site shown to me by appleOffical NS Matador

the privatizing is not all the stock market. There are stocks and bonds tied in with the market that won't get bought out or go chapter 11. There are savings accounts through banks, such as CDs, that allow for a percentage return. And as I said before, yet you continue to ignore .... the ignorant masses are going to be out there throwing their money willy-nilly into high risk stocks. The governement would set up different 'packages' if you will. Each would have a different level of risk and skill. It would be DIVERSIFIED, that means maybe four or five different stocks, some bonds some CDs. The fact is that no matter what, if you invested your money, you would be able to get at least some percentage of a gain. With S.S. you get NO GAIN. The amount you get back would determine what you selected. The idea you have of the market is that it is a random lottery, but the fact of the matter is that wise analysts and investors know how to use the market. They can therefore supplement their own retirements and increase their earnings. The governement would help the people that aren't wise to money markets in selecting proper investments, thought I would reiterate that point so you get it this time.

Personally I enjoy freedom, and I don't like having the government force me into a ridiculous retirement plan (S.S.) where I won't make any gains. But that's just me I'm for the government having less control over my life.

i still think it is a bad idea. people are bound to make bad investments, and then what will we do? do we bail them out? social security seems to be holding fine, why mess with a system that works?

if by working you mean not working, then yes it works fine. It will run out of money ... completely and utterly out of money. Then the country goes into great debt or taxes are jacked way up. If that's working, then I need a new dictionary.

i for one believe that taxes should be raised. This tax cut that bush put on has just thown us into a greater deficit. Even if we just add a few more precent to everybody's paycheck it could bring back massive amounts of money. taxes should be raised

I hate you. I like my money, and you are most likely a 14 year old who has no concept of what it is like to have a job and earn your own money. Oh yeah, and thanks for presenting such a greta case for raising taxes as well.

I agree with you on this one though, taxes SHOULD NOT be raised. I like my money too. If i get a paycheck that ends up with 500 bucks in my pocket, thats 200 that are taken out. So should there be no taxes, i would make 700 bucks in two weeks. that would be much better. I cant afford to have anymore taken out of my paycheck. I have Car Insurance, tuition payments, other loans, etc.

last time i checked, our government isnt concerned with huge national debt, as we already have it. that seems like a bad argument to me, as it would seem based on what i stated above that leaving the system intact will fulfill their plan to bankrupt the country
