This way, if somebody wants to keep it safe in T Bills, they can leave it where it is. Or, if the person takes no action at all, it stays where it is. Meanwhile the rest of us who actually understand how money works can be afforded the opportunity to grow our nest eggs.

I mean if we all paid into it, we should all have choices. Is it our money or not?

If that was an option SS would fail . The more money into the fund the more it is suppose to make ...correct (basic,I know )? If people take the money that they think is theirs' and invest it poorly...what happens to those people when they are asking or dying for help? Let me ask you a question....do you have choice where your taxes go and what they pay for. I mean why should someone with no kids pay property taxes for a school system they do not use ?
