Regarding Jay
Ambrose's column dated Nov. 17th - Can Democrats tackle Social
Security? We can't change Social Security for those on Social
Security, but we should be able to PRIVATIZE SOCIAL SECURITY
on those just entering the work force.
The amount deducted by payroll and the matched amount by the
employer, belong to the employee, not the government. In case
of death, the money would go to the second name in the account.
According to the news, the "Earnings Suspense File"
which grows at a rate of $6 billion a year, now stands over $376
Billion. The Social Security account was over $400 billion at
one time.
According to the news, our government is using these accounts.
The accounts should be frozen, and not used by our government.
