(click on question) #5. "If the economy remains strong, won't the financial problems of Social Security go away?" "Some privatization cheerleader remarked that putting workers' Social Security into the market would "encourage" workers to care about what happens on Wall Street....I don't hear anyone suggesting policies that would "encourage" Wall Street to care about what happens to workers. At least, not from the Bush camp. All they want is more of our money, with no guarantees that we'll ever see it again. Some 'prosperity.' Some 'security.'" --Doris in des Moines. (Read it here.)
