Neither of those links show that the economy is bad or that Bush dosent want to give people the option to privatize a small fraction.
What they say is that private accounts wont solve the solivency issue.
Also your second link is crap. "Marxist thought online"...please...

The only way to "save" it involves ripping people off even more. I say let it die.

How so? France isn't a communist nation.
Im not sure if investing in the Euro would be good though, since its at a high vs the dollar.

The miracle of compound interest. Start young, invest the maximum allowed in an IRA (it lowers your taxable income). Do not live too much for today. A wise person will save while he is able and delay gratification. Anyone under 50 who is depending on Social Security is a complete and utter fool.

Agreed, but this country is filled with fools. A fool who works 40 years paying into ANY system, should get something back.

Actually, I would prefer to keep more of my loot rather than trusting it in the hands of corrupt politicians.

Oh, I'd love it if I could get all that money I've been forced to put into social security refunded, but considering what a failure that system is, I don't expect to ever actually see any of it.

As a great act of altruism on my part I will gladly give up any rights to any collection from Soc Sec if they will stop robbing me today and never steal from my daughter. They can keep the shit the stole for the last 30 years. Oh wait, nevermind, they already spent that

Surely you can't be naive enough to be hoping for a refund?
