When one is sarcastic the sarcasm is the point. The fund was intended to allow old aged and disabled people to subsist. It was to alleviate poverty in case you where disabled or outlived your means. It was not intended to enable the luxury of travel.
So when Freepers, though not necessarily you, whine about being defrauded perhaps they could examine the stated purpose of the program. Of course the stated purpose wasn’t the intended purpose.
So enjoy your SS funded vacation it is only taking two working people to provide it toy you.

You do make a good point about how SS has warped into something it wasn’t originally meant to be.
And I suppose I’d feel a bit guilty had I “hurt my back” when I was 20, and was freeloading off of disability ever since. But nope. Been working since I was 18. And like many other FReepers here, I went for years without missing even one day of work, and paying into SS the whole time.
So yeah, I’m going fishing, guilt-free.
