“And I do expect to get my SS (maybe I’ll take tango lessons). I paid into it starting in 1970. Maxxed it out in 1Q for twenty years. A deal is a deal. At least to honorable people.”
A deal’s a deal.
Unless you’re naive enough to think any deal the government offers is a deal. That’s the real problem here. The Greatest Generation was duped into believing the government would protect them, and the Boomers, even worse, continue to cling to their entitlements, even though they should know by now it’s a scam.
I hope you enjoy your tango lessons, the ones I won’t be able to afford because I’m paying for yours. I hope you enjoy them A GREAT DEAL.

Thank you so much, I will.
btw...I will use my SS for whatever I want, even Tango lessons, because I don't need it. Why? Because I took care of myself and worked smart with what I had while paying every penny of taxes that was due. You can do the same or you can sit at the curb crying. Not hard to figure which road you'll take.
There never was a deal.
That was your mistake.
Your second mistake was insisting on deluding yourself after WE TOLD YOU there was no deal.
