My issue with privatizing Social Security is that it really isn't about the individual investing his/her own money. It would look like the Medicare Drug benefits where you could chose Plan A, Plan B or Plan C. Invariably that means your money will be invested in Halliburton, ExxonMobile, etc... Who gains the most in that transaction? Halliburton, ExxonMobile, etc...
It would be a "Trojan Horse" just like the Medicare Drug Benefits, which was really all about corporate welfare. The PharmCorps are now raking in profits hand over fist. So the lesson of the story is beware of "Geeks bearing gifts."
If Congress really wants to fix Social Security for the seniors, they need to enlist real expert economists like Walker. Don't leave it up to the Poly (many) ticks (blood sucking parasites). The only person in Congress I would trust with economics at this level is Ron Paul.
