There are prponents of this investment that might make it profitable for
themselves because they'd know what they were doing.  But in the long run, I
fear it would just create more scams designed to bilk retirees of their
money (as if there weren't enough scams out there already).  If the govt
would just keep their fingers out of the till, SS would get along just fine.
