Since I typically just scan these posts, I hadn't caught the blurb about Social Security. Typical opinion from someone who apparently doesn't take the time to study an option for what it is but rather just blurts out the crap that they hear. I work with many people who are going get more out of their gov't pension than I because they pay into programs that allow the options you discussed. It is not about Privitization, or any other buzz words that opponents throw out. It is about keeping all these funds going into the Social Security program where Congress - both sides - can spend the excess that currently amounts to over $10 billion a year.
I agree that someone who admits to such poor investment decisions all the time should not profess to know what is good for everyone else.
What a foolish statement. I would give my left arm (maybe not my left arm, I'm left handed) to have had my 13.5% invested in the stock market the last 25 years.
