Yes, I do mean that. I did a little bit of research after the crash, and found that the stock market right after the crash was high enough that if you had been investing for 30 years, you'd still have made more money than from social security.

Source? And it's not like the Republicans have a stellar record on efficient use of the federal budget, y'know.
Um...didn't think it needed a source. Bush proposed a sort of privatization back in 2005 and the democrats opposed it.

admit it social security is screwed because people are greedy.
It's flawed because it's a ponzi scheme and the government won't arrest the perpetrators.
