No, I object to borrowing a ton of government money. Make the modest fixes to Social Security to ensure it continues to do what it does. We have private accounts now. People who want more money -- including most of us -- can go to Schwab or Fidelity and open a private account. You don't have take money away from Social Security to allow this happen.
