I'm not forgetting it. And it continues to amaze me how exercised some here get about SS. SS is not an example of some unearned entitlement, but of a programs that provides a basic retirement benefit for workers who paid into the system for a minimum number of years, and also a program that built up a $2.6 trillion dollar surplus that would have carried it until 2037 IF
Our reckless members of Congress and presidents hadn't begun spending it for general fund purposes decades ago. SS needs reform, but people should also consider what sort of nation we'd have with many millions of elderly with no source of income.
Nobody's bothered about welfare and medicaid and the $950 billion annually paid to working age Americans who don't work, or work in lower paying jobs. We just get this Pavlovian dog response whenever SS is mentioned.
You do realize what happens when young workers are so heavily burdened with taxes and debt, don't you?
They don't get married, they don't buy houses, they don't start families, and they don't start businesses.
Consider those consequences.
