33. I am for partial privatization
Under strict conditions, I would support private investment accounts with SS deductions. First, all people over a certain age (45-50) would have to be guaranteed current benefit levels. Younger people should be given the option of partial private accounts vs. fixed benefit. I will manage my money much better than the feds. And if I die at the age of 65, my private account will go to my estate. The current system is unsustainable and a change is necessary. We should not be opposed to something just because AWOL is in favor of it.
