1. Absolutely....If Inflation Is 3 Per Cent....You Need 6% Return....
But what if you become disabled the year after you start your private account...who's gonna pay your disability....Or worse, what if you die and leave a wife and children under 18...who's gonna pay them their support payments...there sure won't be enough in your private account to do anything...

These liars are beneath contempt....

2. Right On!
Future stock market returns will be 4% at best: "Social Security reformers must take note. The same factors that produced real stock market returns of seven percent in the past now seem poised to produce real returns of only four to five percent in the future."
