What's wrong with "pay as you go"? How do you think we pay for highways? We do it through gas taxes, pretty much on a pay as you go basis.
Apples and oranges again. Highways are a physical asset, and cannot be invested for a profitable return. Social Security money COULD be, but the government will not do so.

A gradual shift to privatization is the only way it can be sustained.

It's MY money. I earned it. Let ME invest it the way I want to.
