Show me a link to a plan. There wasn't one. There was no way that you could stop collecting payments into SS and still pay out. So how in hell would this work?

I was working for a company that sold software to stock brokers. None of them could figure out how those accounts could possibly be managed. Would the federal government designate a couple of plan administrators (like Lehman)? What stocks would they be allowed to invest in? Anything they wanted?

Face it. It wasn't killed by the left. It died because it wasn't a plan.
