Social Security reform chatter is everywhere, and it's likely that at
some point, you're going to be cornered by the water cooler or in the
cafeteria and asked what you think. Your conversation partner may even
be (gasp) a conservative. So be ready. This guide from Think Progress (a
project of the American Progress Action Fund) includes point-by-point
claims in the Bush administration's words, coupled with the real facts
about Social Security. Make sure you're able to explain to a
conservative why that "personal" account won't really be yours to
control, or why passing on account money to your grandchildren won't be
possible. SEE THE GUIDE

I thought the plan(s) being discussed were similar to the one offered to
government workers. The plan Government workers have is much superior to
SS.


The Thrift Savings Plan, which federal workers can use, has been used as a
'model' for the types of investments which could be made with the personal part
of the social security withdrawal.

Jimcomma has found a site which touts bull****. That, in Jimcomma's eyes, makes
it worth repeating.
