Right...there was no earthly reason for the gullible geezers to think the gravy train was going to keep going for their 30 years of retirement on the meager contributions they put in. And to buy their votes while spending their retirement money, Congress would sweeten the pot still further with COLA raises over the years. The average retiree has used up all the money he put in, plus interest, in less than 5 years of drawing payments. The young worker bees kick in the rest of the 20 years they continue to live. That's way too expensive. Let it go broke. They deserve it after believing the bunk that the politicians have been lading out since FDR started this scam.
SS will never go broke. If the Dems get back in charge, taxes will simply be raised to fund the current ponzi scheme.
My SS payment wouldn't cover my food and utilites if I had to retire right now.
