The Cellar Security proposal

The Social Security debate is on, maybe the Cellar should hash out a proposal. Two things I don't want to see are the continuation of a program that does not foster ownership and I don't want to see payroll taxes funneled to a few chosen companies. What don't people want in a new system?

David Brooks has a nice piece mentioning Bob Kerrey's old Kid Save proposal. Fed Gov opens an account for the youts, seeds it with pocket change, and compound interest does the work.
