The Federal Government doesn't have the assets to do this.
PEOPLE SS is already a welfare program. This is nothing new. Don't let the media fool you any longer. I would give up the whole thing NOW if I could. But I would also agree to a samller INCREASE in the future welfare monthly check for any amount of personal account NOW. Get it. And I am 46. I want some freedom from the terrible system. If you do not realize the above then just pout and wait for a hugh increase in pay roll taxes AND a future cut in your welfare check cause that is the ONLY other way to keep the scheme going. Plus you may have to wait till age 70 to be so blessed.
