It's not stable because it doesn't work when the population isn't booming. Even if it were stable, I would have to say "so what?" You could reliably give me $1 every month to live on, and do a fantastic job, and it still wouldn't suffice. That's social security in a nutshell. If my parents had to survive on their social security checks, they wouldn't be enjoying their retirement, they'd be regretting it. -- monique Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
