I remember back when GWB wanted to let folks take ten percent of what they paid into SS to invest in government approved stocks in order to increase the amount of money they could receive on retirement. The Democrats and the MSNLSD bunch went ballistic and showed cartoons of Republicans pushing grandma down the stairs in her wheelchair.
Lefties don’t think ahead because they expect US to pay for all of their needs.
My Dad was a wonderful and very smart man. After he was gone, there was great plenty to take care of Mom until she passed.
And enough left for his children and grandchildren to have a stake to build on.
A true conservative, through and through.
Yeah, but ALL Gubmint employees—including Congress critters—get to have a Thrift Savings Plan(TSP) account in addition to SocSec.
The TSP account is basically a way to add to their retirement through investment’s in low to high risk stocks.
So their “outrage” is purely for show!
If it was an option, I would completely opt out of social security all together. I can invest MY money in ways I see fit.
