- brg 16y agoIncorrect solutions are nearly always less complex than their counterparts.
- jbooth 16y agoIncorrect according to whom? If you're going to say "look I just want it that way because that's my ideological bias", that's fine. But don't pretend there's some objective measure involved here.
- brg 16y agoSocial security is unsustainable. It is a solution which will not work unless every attribute but its name is replaced. How is that not an objective enough measure for anyone? However, social security also has enrollment forced under thread of punishment. Social security has a clear negative impact on free enterprise. Social security embroils the government in private matters for which government's involvement simply limits liberty with no other benefit to social welfare. Social security is less effective than other solutions such as defined contribution retirement packages, IRA, individual savings when coupled with strong community support and a basic welfare program.
