"You don't get to handle it, the stock market does."
If the government would take it's hands completely off my money and finances in general, I'd have complete control over it. Life would be just peachy at that point.
The bureaucrats have proven to be ridiculously irresponsible with money. I don't think putting them in charge of my finances is generally a good idea. The conservatives, republicans, and libertarians are right on economics.
Privatization is but a step in the right direction - getting rid of government interference altogether. You can say this is 'radical' all you want, but I don't see what is so damn 'radical' about the idea of being able to spend and handle your own money, rather than a bunch of government officials.
