"Think about it, a couple billion in steady "SS injections" would add trillions in market cap to the markets..."
i think about it. so its like he's telling me that he wants to take my ss contributions and have the gov play the market for me.
heck, if i'm gonna be exposed to that risk, why not just cut the ss contribution altogether and let me do what i want with it. i promise i'll open an ira
its not like they're gonna mitigate my risk, after all.
so why exactly does this save anyone money or fix the ss problem? i never got that part of the argument. is it that returns on these accounts are better, so you can project deeper cuts into payments on the remaining 2/3?
