didn't read the whole thread. I asked the question why someone would be more comfortable having a private company with a profit motive than having the government - a non-profit entity - make the same call. That person then talked about "government inefficiency" so I merely asked if their SS check is on time every momth.

I don't care about SS, so I'm not going to defend it. I've only minimually paid into it, and even if I met the minimum quarters, my benefit would be offset by my federal retirement. So don't come railing at me about SS. And it's easy to say you would have done so much better if you privately invested it. Hindsight is 20/20 and talk is cheap. You might not be any better off -- in fact, if you had, SS might be looking mighty good to you.

And for anyone that feels so strongly about it, I just pointed out that you can refuse you benefit. Or you can donate it back to the treasury. Or you can donate it to your favorite charity so you don't have to sully your principles.
