The federal government has collected trillions of dollars in taxes over the years and what do they have to show for it?... A $7 trillion dollar debt! Possible they can achieve such spectacular success with your retirement money as well. Or maybe you could do better on your own.
Maybe, maybe not.
But I just think the 4% thing is stupid...the only real point of it is to actually speed up the point at which social security goes bankrupt, so the Republicans have an excuse to dismantle it.
Either leave it alone, or fully privatize it. The 4% deal is misleading.
