Drunken sailors on shore leave get tossed out of bars when they try and place the tab on someone else. Only the drunks in Congress keep spending on their contributing corporations and oligarchs on our tab with disaster the only real outcome. We need Constitutional Amendments. Corporations and for that matter, Foundations do not have personhood "rights". Nobody lobbies our Congress except We the People. Corporations and Foundations have a beef, contact us.
Social Security needs to be abolished. Pay everyone back in the form of tax credits for young people and continue paying older people until they die or are made whole.
We still need and should offer a safety net to our fellow Americans, but it should be run at the state level.
As I recall, under Bush there was a big push to sell private social security to the public. It failed because people learned that it was scam just like privatized Medicare. Fees for mandated investments would actually lower income for people, especially those on the lower income end. It was just another neoliberal scam to suck more money out of the working public into the hands of the ruling elite, the corporatists, oligarchs or Deep State--call them what you will. They are all narcissistic, greedy goons that need to be put in their place--paying more taxes and limited in what they can do manipulating national money.
Yes, Corruption occurs wherever it can. The "push me - pull you" between fedrally guarateed incomes from a "pool" of federal debt, is no less a scam than than that perpetrated i the private sector - probably even larger.
Contributions to social security are not all spent on pensions, but on federal pork via fiscal deficits.
It is hidden in rising debt.
I understand your revulsion of the private sectors involvement in retirement - where corruption exists.
As an ex-investment professional, I worked rigorously to generate investment returns for corporate and State clients and selecting/monitoring the best combination of risk and return (AFTER fees and COSTS) that I could. There are many (the majority) in the industry who are like that, though some bad apples.

Especially "Foundations" with dubious "missions"
