Two more questions about Social Security. The government now uses the SS

[patricia92243]

money for other things to help keep the government running. That is why Gore wanted to put the money in a "lock box" so it could not be used on other things.

If SS is privatized, will the government still have access to that money?

Question 2: If that money is not available to them, how are we going to keep the government afloat.

The way SS works now is everybody contributes for everybody (sort of). With privatization, I will only contribute for myself into my own private account.

Question 3: What happens to people that have not contributed at all - the disabled, children of deceased persons that have contributed only 2 or 3 k, etc?

My first question - and the really helpful answers - can be found at:
