Privatized Social Security? Really? -513

[Firebrand Gary]

I especially hope that the wonderful people of Paul Ryan's congressional are fully aware of what took place in the stock market today.

1. I recently received a mailing from the crooks (Chase, I believe)

where my Health Savings Account is kept reminding me that once I get $3,000 in that account I can invest it in a mutual fund!!! (I don't have anywhere near that in the account). I thought at the time that anyone who is dumb enough to do that better hope they need a bypass or other treatments during a bull market.

You know, long before I got stuck with one, when I first heard about these high deductible with a HSA "healthcare" plans I thought they must be some kind of scam like a 401K - now I know I was right.

3. It wasn't that long ago when bush wanted to privatize social security just before the financial

Crash

I would hope people do not have that short of a memory

will veer SS towards this anyway...

nobody in power gives a shit..they just keep following the effigy of Milton Friedman

5. I'd love to ask the next politician who brings this up - how are they going to

cover a check to transfer all the Social Security money to Wall St?
