The United States government has enough in property, real estate, mineral wealth, offshore oil leases and such items to BACK Social Security if need be.
If they don't pay in cash I'll take a good location in the main lobby of almost any NPS lodge at Grand Canyon National Park.

"In fact, the Supreme Court decided in 1960 that recipients have no right to payments, no matter how many years they have paid into the system. The government can decide to decrease − or stop − the payments at its sole discretion. Hows that for guaranteed?" How the government got away with declaring they could outright steal from you and didn't have to repay a penny is beyond me.

Yes, not only did Obama admit that all our Social Security contributions are NOT in a lockbox, he said he couldn’t pay Social Security unless the limit on his credit card was upped!

Payments are guaranteed, but only so long as (1) enough new workers join the workforce; (2) enough money can be raised by taxes or borrowing to cover the payments; and (3) the president feels it is to his political advantage to make the payments, rather than to withhold them and blame Republicans. Then it is not guaranteed is it?

Doesn’t SS go to new immigrants, with less work required for a full payout? Also, can’t an immigrant bring in family members who are elderly, and get coverage?
If we kept to the original plan of an individual worker building up a lockbox fund plus interest, we would not be here. “Someone” turned it into an “entitlement” scam.

Lies, lies, lies . . the ends justify the means . . where have we heard THAT before? This is NOT a socialist state; it is a Constitutional republic.
Raise the retirement age NOW. People are living longer and need to keep on going for a while longer. Things were different when they started SS; people’s life spans were shorter. - If a person CAN pay their own medical bills, let them do it for as long as they are able; the doctor’s offices will give them a self-pay discount. My Medicare card kicks in this month; and I can pay my own.
And then take it a step further and cut ALL entitlements. People gotta grow up; especially lawmakers and those latched onto the government sugar tit.

Well, isn't that just ducky. Between my husband and myself, we paid into the ponzi scheme run by the government for 60 years. And now, because of increased unemployment, US Gov't debt, abortion (less people to pay into the scheme) and a corrupt Federal Government (specifically the crook, Lyndon B. Johnson who was the first to delve into the "Trust Fund") we know have a crisis and the whole system is about to collapse.
Well, it couldn't happen to a more deserving President. I hope all the seniors who thought this moron was their savior eat crow, because that's all they will be able to afford.

"How the government got away with declaring they could outright steal from you and didn't have to repay a penny is beyond me." Because the FDR administration argued that SS was a TAX plain and simple to the Supreme Court when it was challenged. The Democrats have been using the ending of, or modification of, SS against Republicans for as long as I've been alive. They knew all along it was a scam and now they are out in the open with it. But do you think it will make any difference the Democrat voters? Not likely!

When do we the people get sick of the lies and engage in civil disobedience? The government is corrupt as hell. The dems and Rhinos need to be called “LIAR” whenever they spin. Start screaming people.

We have paid more into SS than it costs since 1983, to “prepare” for the baby boom generation.
That money was used to buy government bonds.
So, the Federal government took regular tax revenue and spent it; then they spent the SS income over and above costs for whatever they wanted, but that money was “guaranteeed” by a government issued bond.
So instead of keeping the SS over and above money separate from the general tax revenues, the two income streeams were merged and spent.
Now the ogvernemtn can only reddem the SS bonds by doing what? Collecting taxes from the present generation and future generations to pay off the bonds and give the money to SS.
So we paid the SS taxes once for these future benefits, since 1983.
Now, we have be taxed a SECOND time to pay off the bonds, for benefits we already paid for.
So we pay for TWO TIMES for the SAME BENEFIT.
Think about that, and ask why shouldn’t Congress be in jail?
Do you think America will ever figured out they have been looted?
