Paul Oneill's idea is certainly worth considering. The debate needs all ideas while the notion of SS reform is still in its formative stages. The fact that people own their 'SS' assets rather than relying on a government/political promise is the direction we need to go. Otherwise we run the risk of a larger than necessary segment of our society becoming dependent on government. This is not as it should be because the vast majority of our citizens can fend for themselves.

While we're at it, citizens should be the beneficiaries of any government wealth redistribution, not illegal aliens. But that's another story.
