Agree with the sentiments, hate the ad. For one, it leaves out younger people- they are, and should be concerned about their Social security, too- and now is the time to illustrate that. I think , overall, this ad is kinda clumsy.

You guys are missing the point. Privatizing does not equal putting it in the stock market. But it does mean giving choices to individuals. If I had control of my own social security funds, I could invest it in Treasuries, corporate bonds, equities, etc.
