The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher
The Patriot Post is not sustained by any political, special interest or parent organization, and we accept no advertising. Our mission and operations are funded entirely by the voluntary financial support of Patriots like you!
I continue to ask myself, why can't Social Security be managed like a pension fund with a high proportion of it's assets in high qualty, long term stocks. The $2.5T in existing government bonds if invested in stocks would go a long way towards solving the problem without privatizing the plan which will lead to it's elimination. This question and elimination of the welfare features of the program should be addressed before discussing privatization.
