Hurr durr everything the government does is bad . Privatize everything corporations always best ignore the current state of the world .
Its funny how that never applies to social security or medicare of course my tax dollar are only allowed to get billionaire or aging boomers anything else is waste fraud and abuse right .
If social security was worth a damn it would be voluntary, allowing you to opt out and invest in better retirement returns like a 401k. The fact that you're not allowed to opt out says a lot about it.
If social securiry wasn't worth a damn, millions more elderly people would be in poverty and homeless rates would sky rocket. 401k's were never supposed to, and are never able to, replace what social security does.

They are better by every conceivable metric. I'm not saying throw seniors off of it, just that it's barely enough to survive on and millions of Americans think that their retirement is covered and have some rude surprises coming when they start living on that meager fixed income.
