Social Insecurity

Well, after waiting a whole week to try and think of an appropriate pre-Valentine's Day title for this post, I think I've finally got it. So yes, this post's oh so clever title could both be seen as a metaphor for someone's romantic ineptitude (not mine, of course) and as a play on Social Security, which is apparently something my Grandmother gets a bit of, my dad will get less of, and that I'll forget about by the time I'm their age.

A new CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll shows that more than two-thirds of adults think that workers with higher incomes should pay Social Security taxes on all their wages (and not just the $90,000 the government can tax for social security now) .

Of more than a thousand adults surveyed, this was by far the most popular option for revamping Social Security - with reduced benefits and increased taxes for all workers falling far behind. Also, more than half of those believe that the plan being pushed by the current administration - to allow investors to put some of their Social Security into private plans - is a "bad idea". Only four percent of respondents said that Social Security was doing A-Ok.

What I want is a poll of people who think Social Insecurity is a great idea for a blog title. Then again, Google can't be wrong.
