Great article. Has anyone crunched the numbers of how many millions of people are drawing SS, without ever putting a penny in to it?

Because of the welfare programs that have been grafted onto SS when it was fat with cash, there are some widows, widowers, and children who did not contribute much (or anything) into the system. But the key to problem is workers who are living much longer than the estimates planned for, and the declining number of remaining workers compared to rising numbers of retirees.
