SS should eventually be cut off for everyone. Bureaucrats shouldn't be meddling in our retirement affairs. We can invest and grow our own money without their "help". Also, people of a certain age shouldn't be essentially stealing from those of another.

What it comes down to is this: SS is a completely socialist program. As responsible conservatives, do we continue to cling to it and hope for the best despite the facts and figures, or do we self-sacrifice now so the younger folk have a better opportunity?

Meaning what? Should we "self-sacrifice" our elders?

All that "theory" is nice -- and I agree with some of it -- but try to live in the world we are in and the situation we are in -- in other words, you play the cards you're dealt.

I'm sure there is somebody in your family who is receiving SS. Try to think about them, eh?
