I read this article this morning from the Washington Post:
Social Security Formula Weighed
I suppose I am a Democrat, although at times I feel more like and Independent. Specifically, I am in favor of school choice/vouchers and more responsible use of taxes- but I digress. I called my Senator (R-TX) and spoke to an aid about Social Security because I was very confused about what actually happens to the already paid SS $ of young workers if the President's plan is enacted. He told that my particular question is at present a point of contention and will likely be battled out in Congress, but we discussed other aspects of the plan.
I think I have come to support the plan, although I do wish one of the options for investment of the privatized portion of the SS were real estate.
What do you guys think?
