SS is only in turmoil because Congress hasn't done what they need to do to solidify it. It's the single best program that this country has ever implemented. Fix it.
I'm hearing you can set aside some of your paycheck each week in an interest-bearing account. It's called savings. Cut out the middle man that spent all the money and you'd be fine. Perpetuities are going away because people live way longer nowadays and you have no way to measure what it's going to cost in the future. People should be responsible for their own savings. Period.
First, let me introduce you to negative or near negative rates. Second, when the average American is spending like 110% of their income and carrying $15k credit card statements, thinking that people are able to save for retirement on their own is d2d fucking stupid.
Get mugged by reality and then get back to me.
As I was just saying, Doogs hate personal responsibility.
Get your nose out of Hayek's taint and join the real world.

If you spend 110% of your income and carry $15k credit card statements, you don't deserve a retirement.
At the very least people who have their chit together should be able to opt out of social security and better invest their retirement.

It's a valid point, but you have to consider the alternative. Think we have a homeless problem now? Take away social security payments and you're talking about millions of senior citizens who are now homeless, draining society of its resources at every corner. We'll essentially have old folk slums in every major city, which actually sounds somewhat funny while it's still a total hypothetical. Maybe you're okay with that, but personally I don't want to live in a country where I have to navigate swarms of elderly bums every time I leave my house. I suppose it's moot though, because if we continue on the current path, SS will be insolvent anyways and this scenario won't be an alternative.

Hmm I don't know, I might be able to gain 1% more on my SS.
T bills rock solid as usual, hedgies up and down like a fucking hurricane. Gee, I wonder why people might not want the "free market" in charge of their livelihood.
Dow went from over 14,000 to under 7,000 in less than a year, but people have amnesia and act like it can't happen again...

That's how REAL investments work.
