I think the "private" option is a good one. Social Security sops up 12.4% of workers' income. Even at a very modest income with modest returns, the average worker would do much better with a privately owned account than Social Security.

Do away with it or keep it? If do away with it, do you replace it with something, and if so what? If keep it, what do you do to address the funding shortfall that arises in 20 years?

For us in Europe it's not the question to keep social security or not but just how to improve it because people in general are older in Europe now than before, less children, economy collapsing etc.
Main problem now is that more and more people are retired and less and less people working and contributing to social security system.

Yes. What do you think? It has already failed. Now it's just time to watch the crash. In support of privatizing it. Or allowing a "private option" for those people who don't trust the government with their money any longer....
Must make everyone  give up their wealth! It's for the  safety  of the  children! Think of the  children! Would this private option include required participation in some kind of program?
