[Just mythoughts]

I am sure seniors are beyond being manipulated and scared out ot their wits by Liberals, as in the past...THAT said-much more should be done to assure this does not become the dealbreaker for changes to SSS

How many nursing homes, or assisted living facilities are there in this nation? Who do you think helps these people vote? LIBERALS will used, pervert whatever they can to scare whomever they can. Governor Perry needs to be very specific about what needs to change. I am all for changing this system...

How much money does it cost US to fund the Social Security Administration? AND how many people view the 'government' as banking friendly? And what business is it of 'government' to interfere with people saving any portion of their income.

You are right.

The changes I’d like to see with SS are:

• GREATER accountability in the management of funds
• NO politicians using SS funds for things outside what the SS funds were originally intended
• Taxpayers’ options OTHER than the SS system

Given the mess it is now, I don’t think any of these suggestions are unreasonable.

Absolutely. All these stupid rules on how people are allowed to save. Get the government out! This is also a golden opportunity to go to a flat or fair tax and abolish the IRS. We wouldn’t have to worry about the taxability of investments and it would encourage more to save for their own retirement.
