Other People’s Money
Re “Bush Again Pushes Stock Investments for Social Security,” March 1: I read that President Bush has presented his latest proposal to boost Social Security--401(k)s. I guess Enron and Global Crossing haven’t registered with the White House yet.
As one of those recipients of Social Security, I am not prone to having any of my money tampered with by so-called experts who seem to prove, every time they turn around, how dumb they really are. I guess that the workers at Enron losing their life savings means we should continue with the same process that cost them their savings.
The White House should quit dipping into Social Security for bailouts every time it can’t balance a budget. Then maybe the program might last past 2035.
