The Washington Post argues that private retirement accounts within Social Security could expand asset ownership and offer options for risk levels, improve work incentives, and boost national saving. It notes low annual costs, enforceable inheritance rights, and a idea to partially fund through new revenue or reduced spending. It also cites expert Kevin Brown of the University of Illinois and describes a need for a working lock box.
