I’m 60 and have paid in for 45 years. Always had a suspision that SS would dissolve the day before I’d qualify...I’ve also said that if that happens I’d march on DC with pitchfork in hand. I can’t be alone.

The day SS goes bankrupt the reality is the only pitchfork you’ll use will be for digging up roots to eat. The whole thing will collapse. It’s not like everything remains in stasis except SS isn’t paid. If my math is correct, that’s $1.5 trillion dollars a year out of the system. That’s millions and millions of old and disabled people suddenly out on the street starving to death. The hospitals will go bankrupt very quickly. This is true if they even just reduce benefits. The system is destined to collapse.
They should just give you what you put into it. It would save the government money. Most don’t realize that most make a ton more than they put into the system.
