If you have noticed, I have not written about social security reform, and there is a reason for this- I don’t care, really. I think there is nothing wrong with me investing in personal funds, but if not, I am willing to accept that I may or may not see a return on my money if social security is kept as it is.
After all, it is only 6.5% (or whatever the number is) of my income. I am more concerned with the other 30%-50% of my income the government is pissing down a hole. Once you get past my knee-jerk opposition to government programs such as this, the whole topic of social security just makes my eyes glaze over.
It does moderately piss me off that we pretend every now and then to have balanced budgetsm when in fact we are ripping off several hundred billion in social security receipts. I am getting sleepy.
