The line about the "right to blow it" was actually funny. Big Nanny Government at its finest. So, according to the Nanny theory I don't have the right to blow MY OWN MONEY! Gosh, what would I do without Nanny? Just die in the gutter, I guess. The fact is, the only way to save SS in the long run is to give everyone their own account. It seems stupid for me to pay benefits to others. Why can't they receive benefits from their own money? What kind of moron thought of that? The only way to make the system viable (if you must have it at all) is to make everyone pay into an account that belongs to them. If some people feel they are so stupid that they cannot handle their own money, let Nanny invest it. But at least make her invest your money for you, not mine.
