And the Trumpanzees wonder why we heap contempt on the House GOP's faux outrage, pearl clutching, where's my fainting couch response to Biden's very accurate calling out of their intentions RE cutting SS.

Three-Quarters of House GOPs Endorsed Social Security Cuts Last Year

Those 'private investment accounts' would have been teed up for the stock market slaughter and the Great Recession, when job losses may have pushed people on to SS and needing benefits NOT tied to, decimated by, stock market valuations. That WAS the argument against such accounts and it prevailed.
It's still a sound argument.
