"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. How’s 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.

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.

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!
