If any private company created a retirement system in which you paid money into it, returned a rate of under 2% on your contributions, and kept the money when you died, the American people would be outraged, and Congress would be demanding hearings and passing laws to prevent this from occuring. So, the question is:

IF WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO DO THIS TRAVESTY, WHY DO WE ALLOW GOVERNMENT TO DO IT??

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
