I remember one of the last interviews that President gave to Barbara Walter just before he left office. She ask him ( ia am para phasing of course) what were some of his regrets. He stated that he regretted not privitizing social security. As a retired "blue collar" worker, the mountain of ignorance of that man was absolutely not to be believed unless you witnerss it yourself. Imagine how much money would people recieved if the SS was cashed out, how could it ever generate the monthly check(on average $650.00 o month) for the millions who would have been "privitized. Given the past 4 years, (those foks with private pensions have lost 30% or more) Wall stret would have charged commissions, they would have "churned" for bogus commission, they probably would have attempted to give peoiple special rebate or debit cards so that they would be charged a fee every time they accessed their money. The repacious greed of "Wall Street" has no limits.
