Should the GOP ever attempt to privatize Social Security in our lifetime, they will be out of office the next term. This has nothing to do with its good or bad, it has to do with messing with the seniors' monies.
An attempt at privatization will most likely involve semi-privatization. Could result in a plan where those under age 55 are given a choice between choosing a privatized or traditional plan and those over 55 are stuck with the traditional plan. This way, the GOP stays intact, and seniors' monies remain intact.
Wasn't that part of Bush's plan in 2005 that went no where? I think it is similar to all the yelling about pro-life and traditional marriage in the elections, but the legislators won't go much farther than shouting.
It was part of Bush's plan. I wouldn't rule out another attempt at similar, especially in this economic climate, which was not the climate in 2005.
