Bush's Social Security Plan

I think it is fairly clear that Bush just learned that if you increase the risk you are willing to take on you can increase your expected earnings and that no one bothered explaining to him the down side of an insurance plan taking on more risk.

But regardless of how you feel about his new plan, if it goes into affect and you have the option to privately invest part of your social security money would you do it? Leave a comment, I'm curious what everything thinks.
