Well, color me with low IQ. My view is that the SS fund excess is invested 
in government securities, the most dependably reliable investment in the 
world. If the U.S. government goes bankrupt, all bets are off except your 
garden and woodlot. The paper proving the investment is in a file cabinet. 
Now, there's an opening for you: is the file cabinet paper backed up with 
copies elsewhere?; is the room fireproof?; is it earthquake proof?

Three percent for certain and with very low administrative costs is a sound 
retirement investment. The only thing I don't like about the system is that 
I am double taxed.
