Douglas- thanks for the tip. I chose to change the settings in AdSense. hopefully that will do the trick. If not, I’ll take suggestion #2 and add the code. Come by again sometime.

Porky- I’ve check out both articles you’ve presented, and I just don’t agree with the basic concept that we are all in it for ourselves. My next post will more clearly define my position regarding the necessity of a national retirement program, and that will be followed by actual proposals. Although I’m sure you’ll disagree with them, I’d still encourage you to give them some thought. Thanks for dropping by.

David- Good to have you back.

And, at risk of being deemed a shameless self-promoter, here are my thoughts.

prying1- you caught me mid reply or I’d have gotten to you in the last batch.

You make some good points, and I think we can all agree that the raiding of the funds has been treacherous of both parties. It only proves that they have not the public concern at heart, but rather special, targeted goals that may not always be the will of the people.

And while for much of the programs lifespan the money paid was done so in good faith, it is hard to argue that today’s younger workers are paying into a system that they can trust to be there for them. In that sense, the money they are paying in will never be theirs, nor will there be much left for them when they retire. Today’s workers do not have any such guarantee from the government, and as such need to reconfigure the program as necessary.

In the end, if you consider the program to be in the vein of a national retirement pension program, then all money deposited belongs to the depositor. But if it is just a social safety net type of program, to be used by those with the most need, then they taxes collected become part of the public trust, not claimable by any one person specifically, but claimable by all in need.

In my next post, I’ll begin to explore some ways of forming a system for future workers and also look to ways to shore up the existing system to fulfill its obligations to those already entrapped in its morass.

Thanks for the point of view!
