Just lose your eyes and imagine……..
Had Social Security been privatized as former President Bush suggested, which would have benefitted the top 10% of taxpayers. The stock market crumbles, money managers abscond with the investment money, and the economy running on empty. How many more people would be tempted to commit suicide from the shock, of all their retirement money down the tubes?
At least for NOW there are Social Security checks for retirement, even though it’s bupkess.
