Privatizing Social Security will make things worse. Congressional Budget Office projections advise that funds will not run out until 2042. We have no crisis. Social Security will not go bankrupt.
Our problem is the budget deficit, coupled with our trade deficit and compounded by the falling dollar.
Social Security pays for itself and should continue that way. Privatization is a way to bury a government program that works.
If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.
