Your attitude is part of the reason we are heading for an economic meltdown. I do not doubt that you feel entitled to the benefits. If you are a recent retiree, you have reasonable justificatition for your feelings.
Your feelings will not change economic reality. The funds to support your retirement and my retirement (in 10 years or so) have already been spent. The ship will capsize from the weight of demands.
Our only hope is for individuals to willingly give up benefits in exchange for lower taxation. For seniors, it is a rotten deal but it is the only deal without sinking the ship.
