Look Greg, I will cut to the chase because I want to get my ass on the
road and Ive got a ways to go.

1. You believe what you believe. I am not going to change what you
believe.
2. Your initial post had more than the initials SSI wrong with it.
3. Do some of the reading, and I will discuss it with you. Although I
hope others do so first.
4. You apparently do not understand the basics. No offense but even
Dean who is not in love with the system apparently on ideological
grounds at least understands how it works. I suggest you go to this
site. . .
www.ssa.gov
then search on "Trust Fund" . Then if you want you can argue with
whoever you want about the non-existence of the Trust Fund(s). But not
me.

I also suggest you check out the CNN/Money , (then retirement) site
for a decent roll up of the real scope of the problem and what it and
OASD means for people in this country.

Good luck and I hope Ive left no hard feelings. Like I said before,
the anti social security propaganda and attempts to paint a crisis
picture have got in the way of a rational people taking a rational
approach to making needed adjustments in the most successful
sustainable retirement system in the Western world.
