Terrorists like us?

Exactly.

Privatizing Social Security? Isn't that what 401k's and IRA's are for?

I don't understand how giving everyone more money for retirement (by greater interest paid out for private accounts) would lessen the deficit. Am I missing something?

I'm the wrong person to talk to about money... I'm a fiscal retard.

From Someone Who Knows... My Dad

Me: What would your comment be to this?

My Dad: what

Me: Privatizing Social Security? Isn't that what 401k's and IRA's are for?

My Dad: Yes, By allowing individuals to save privately, there is a better chance for them to accumulate more funds for retirement. If you take the idea of 2,000 a year for 40 years, you would have over $1,000,000 that would give the person $50,000 a year at 5%, or much more than social security. The only difference is the disability coverage.

Me: Disability coverage for what?

My Dad: Like ***** was sick and couldn't work. He got money, etc...

Me: Would that be gone with this initiative?

My Dad: yes

Me: How do you know? He didn't say that...

My Dad: Because if you are not putting into the system, they don't have money to pay out.

Me: Ok... thanks
