Congress and Senate are going to be tackling Social Security reform during the upcoming session. Specifically this question concerns opening our individual accounts so that we can invest some of that money in the stock market to get a ruturn from that money rather than just let it sit there (which it doesn't). On the one hand, there is the position that Social Security should be left alone so that there is guaranteed money there when we retire. The other side sees a potential benefit to the individual from stock market gains wheras the way it is now, the money is basically stagnant. What is your position?<br /><br />For you readers outside the US that this doesn't relate to, please don't vote. But I sure would like to hear what program your country has and if it works or not.
