But I gotta say that I'm glad that Social Security never got privatized like "they" wanted to do in the recent past. Then we WOULD be in a pickle. Privatizing would have turned the whole thing over to the investment bankers on Wall St. And we now see where that would have ended up.

I hope that discussion never comes up again!
Well, I'll breathe a bit easier this morning. My friends took a big beating on Wall Street. Their banks went out of business and they lost ALL their stock in that bank.

Makes one wonder if investing in the Stock Market (in the long run), was such a good thing.

Again, thanks so much.

I'm keeping a watch on what's going on.

Take care,

Melody
