If the Social Security fund was invested in the stock market...? [View all]

[kentuck]

You would probably be getting a letter in the mail in the next week or so stating that your next SS check would be about 10-20% less because of the drop in the market. But, there is no need to panic. That is just the way the market operates.

Those that support the idea of privatizing Social Security are always very quite on the subject matter when the market is as volatile as it is now.

But this is the time to look at the ideas of the free marketeers. Are you sure you want your Social Security tied up in the stock market? Who do you trust the least - the government or the stock market?

Which do you want handling the Social Security fund?
