Agreed. And there are many SS recipients who EARN FAR MORE IN SS PAYMENTS THRU THEIR POST-RETIREMENT LIFE THAN THEY EVER PAID INTO IT!!! This is INSANITY! Send the old folks their checks, but when they reach the total amount they paid into it when working, STOP THE PAYMENTS.

Otherwise, the Social Security Administration will ALWAYS be in the red and never catch up. The death benefits to spouse is BS as well. STOP THAT TOO.

Based upon the SS rates back when this fellow began work, he likely recovered his total tax bill in 3 years or less. The death benefit to his spouse will be HIS amount for her life, and yes this is a tragedy.
