Well Eagler, then why not throw it in TBills ? You know, the world wide known SAFEST security you can buy, paying something around 7% now or so ?

But wait, that's giving money to the government !!!  

I don't believe in the total superiority of private company over that of government running. It is a myth propagated by those with vested interest.
Those who don't believe me, i invite you to look at history of WWI, WWII and periods in between, you'll find that it was a government planning and policing that brought about the most efficient performance out of the economy.
America of 1918 was more true to the communist thought in that aspect then USSR ever was  

uhmm, show me where I have the option of investing my social security into TBills (even at a 5% return, that's still about 20% as much as current social security "returns".  If I started at 7% now, it'd be double the soc sec return)

Privatization works.  Chilé has been doing it since 1980 (or 81) and it's successful there.  

If given the choice, my soc sec money would go into the safe TBills.  I've got a 401(k) that I can invest at a higher risk for greater returns (I'm 26, I can do that now.)  I can't remember the website that's got the the CATO studies on it...  duh...  it's Social Security Privatization

 If its the federal government your talking about, later that night they'd be saying "I can't believe I spent $100 today, Guess we'll have to take more from the slaves tomarow"

PS. Rip,


 Isn't it funny how the last thing the dems did when they had congresional power was raise taxes (largest increase in US history) and within 3 or 4 months of them getting power back in the senate they've already suggested it again.

 Just let me know when it's time to revolt, I'm about ready to whack some tax-n-spend MOFO"S!!!!! F*ckin thieves, both parties....
