What are bush's plans for privatizing Social Security?
Is he going to make it possible for only young workers to privately invest their SS, or will older folks be able to do so also? I'm asking because we baby boomers are going to get royally screwed if the young uns are not required to give us back what we put into SS. But, if we can privately invest too, at least we can salvage some of our money. I've got a 501b, and I'm also wondering if we will be able put the SS contribution into those retirement accounts. Just trying to cope here.
:scared:

1. I wouldn't worry about SS.
We'll either be sent to fight dumbya's war and get killed or our lack of health coverage will kill us before we get to retire.

And if that doesn't do it, maybe taking the new job in Mexico will finish us off.
