...common objection to the addition of personal retirement accounts to Social Security is that allowing Americans to invest and earn interest on part of their Social Security payments might have left many of the elderly bankrupt after the financial meltdown of 2008. However, despite the desire of some to strike fear into the hearts of retirees, a worker retiring today who had been allowed to begin investing his Social Security premiums when starting work 40 years ago would have accrued more money by now than is promised by Social Security...

You just have to get in and drive it." He has the support of tycoon Senator Manny Villar, a presidential candidate, who joined him on his Sarangani homecoming. On the campaign trail, Pacquiao has fewer bodyguards separating him from adoring fans and voters. Warming up crowds on the campaign trail are his wife Jinkee and mother Dionisia, a.k.a.
