here's an idea, instead of pretending the 4% of YOUR money you'll no longer be handing over to the government is going to cut your SS payments when you retire, how about we force the government to cut wasteful spending by 4% so fully funding SS and privatizing 4% is a wash?
difficult concept when you buy into the "we're not taxed enough" idea the liberals trot out.

I think you uncovered the reason why the same people who were demanding SS reform in the 90's have now decided that SS is not a problem. It turns out they didn't want to reform it, they just wanted you and me to contribute more to the same plan. That way, It would be harder for me to reach the socially elite status they want to keep exclusive.
