Why ARE they so insistent on pushing privatization of social security?

Advertisements [?]

I'm sure there's more than one reason, but I'm starting to wonder whether its about bringing in more money through sale of stocks or whether its more about not losing money. Are they just going to print up new paper stocks or are they going to sell their stocks to us, pull their money out, and invest it somewhere else? For that matter, why do they insist on putting it into the stock market?

If you believe everyone is going to win and no one is going to lose, I want to tell you about a bridge that I have for sale.
