One thing your plans shares with all other private citizens' ideas is that this could readily work, might be quite palatable to the public, and is way beyond what DC is willing to try.<br /><br />However, it would be interesting to run the simulation to see; my concern is that you STILL won't be able to pay for what the older generations are owed because more-than-90% of the remaining generations will pull out of SSN as fast as they could.The Czar of Muscovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15002679456122392387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417245670557615859.post-58400237852295676182010-06-18T14:20:15.060-04:002010-06-18T14:20:15.060-04:00Actually, what they paid in, with interest, will s...Actually, what they paid in, with interest, will still probably be less than current projected benefits from age 55 on, so sure.ScottOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862732189843248100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417245670557615859.post-86020014576478879292010-05-18T19:49:39.410-04:002010-05-18T19:49:39.410-04:00I think you're gonna have to refigure there......I think you're gonna have to refigure there...<br /><br />Most folks by age 50 have reached a point where they are not physically able to continue working at levels they did when younger.
