Damned right I do. I didn't set up the program, I was forced to participate and I'm not the one breaking it. Collectively, you are indeed the one "breaking it".
The baby boomer generation didn't have the courage to reform Social Security back in the 80's when we had the chance to do it without much pain. All we did was kick the can down the road a bit.
Other countries like Australia and Chile took that opportunity to switch to privately-held accounts, and are reaping the benefits.
Unlike our parents, we didn't have large families. The fertility rate has dropped below 2.0 (per women), and that's the largest driver of the problems with Social Security.
The baby boomer generation didn't have the courage to reform Social Security back in the 80'sLOL ... really? The boomers were hardly in power in the 80s to make any changes. If you recall, the freakin' president was well into his 70s.
More so, the boomers would not have made any changes that would have affected the recipients negatively - i.e. the Greatest Generation - their parents.
And again I contend the biggest problem with SS today are the handouts to the Takers Of Society.
