    Understand broker fees? The commision remains even if the trade loses money. With out over sight, they would bank rupty SS in no time.Remember junk bonds? How about the mortgage scam, that was private enterprise. Of course most bankers are as honest as lawyers.Sure politicians steal,everyone to some extent, knows a "good "deal, and would take it. Viet nam was paid for by a lot of social security money. WW2 had war bonds saving stamps, taxes.Yes LBJ used SS funds, but dont forget ronnie used them also,for his agenda.

    I agree with most everything however what I was referring to the democrats are the ones that opened the lock box. All congress and presidents used SS funds after that. As far as my 401K it has done much better for me than the money I put into SS I think it might be better to put a percentage of SS in a stock market fund as big as this would be you would be investing in institutional funds and this would keep commission fees very low. I also think having this much money in the bond and stock market it would help keep the market from the wild ups and downs. It would also be good for the economy having a huge pool of money invested in America.

    I also think we should put all SS money back into a lock box today.
