I am not asking for anything from the government. Did you not read what I said? I am taking care of it myself. I said that I am not expecting SS to do much to take care of me in my retirement. It will be minimal. My investments and my pension will be what will support me, and my late husband and I EARNED that money ourselves!!!! However, he and I paid into SS for years as well!
Calm down. I wasn't talking directly to you. I was making a general statement about government. I didn't mean to offend you.
