problem if government ran the retirement plan.

If government were efficient, which it is not.
If government were not corrupt, which it is not.
If government were doing it in the best interests of citizens, which it is not.

I am open to revamping, reworking and remaking the SS program. But a sea of ignorant, impoverished, elderly people left to their own devices with no money and no one to look out for them is not a good idea, for the country.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
