Just occurred to me.

Have the government invest the SS fund in private stocks
and bonds, rather than in treasury bonds as it does now.

That is to say, invest in the growth and profits of the
economy.

This would be safer than letting individuals do the
investing and possibly loser their savings.

And the government could negotiate with Wall Street
for very low commissions

   Why not? What's the flaw(s)?
