“Agreed but give me all I put into it plus interest. Not a penny more but not a penny less of my contributions”

That’s not one of the choices.

You have two choices:

1. Accept less, perhaps even drastically less in Social Security and other government benefits.

2. Get nothing - either through hyperinflation, or through drastic financial duress.

You really don’t have the choice you want.

I’m waiting for a political leader to explain this.

It’s basically the golden goose theory. The beneficiaries are strangling the golden goose. Also known as the “tragedy of the commons” or “overfishing.”
