Kevin Drum has been on a roll lately with a two-part look at various long-term scenarios for Social Security privitization. Today’s post has some numbers which seem to show that SS is not in fact anywhere near broken. I’m not very well-informed on the details but it does look quite positive.
For what it’s worth, I am against the current privatization push for Social Security. I voiced my concerns on the issue a few weeks ago.
The bigger question that needs to be asked, and this is where the Democrats are, as ususal, not doing their job framing a coherent opposition, is, Why do the Republicans hate Social Security?
