I should have written, "If this is done correctly, it would be a major anomaly if private accounts do not yield more money to retire with." I'm glad I can do basic arithmetic too. I find it handy now and then. =) I'm all for the abolishment of SS on the princple of it. It is a pyramid scam. The type were you send $1 to 5 people in front of you to get $1 from 5 people behind you. The initial age for SS was beyond the life expetency. It's a sham. I've only worked full time since 1999, but I'm going to insist that every dollar I put in be returned. With interest. But I'm very wary of replacing a bad system with a worse system. Not that I'm saying private accounts are worse. Not enough info right now to make that call. -- 2004 - The year $184M couldn't buy a pennant.
