All I know is that privatizing would allow me to pass my money on to my kids.
There’s an article here that already says the government is participating in the private sector, and quite succefully at that. It’s The Lesson of Thrift
The issue isn’t whether government is participating in the private sector; the issue is that the money we pay in is not saved for our future, but used to support current s.s. recipients. When we become recipients, it would be nice to know that some of the money we earned actually was set aside. That would lessen the burden of future workers as well.
