The STREET is salivating with the hope of SS money coming their way. SS money placed is stocks is, to me, madness. A better solution? Put the money in high yielding, [T-bonds?] with government or private or a combination insurance protection. The money has to be there when due. I'm just tossing out thoughts.
If the could be dangerous becomes danger actualized it will be, and i say this without i think being exaggerant: "If the danger is actualized the culmination will be catastrophic". Overall monetary/fiscal/economic policy is about as safe now as what is portrayed in The Wages of Fear(otherwise known as Le Salaire de la Peur). Add SS-Privatization is just an additional big bump for a truck loaded with liquid NitroGlycerin.
