Hate to say this, but if you are dependent on social security you are a Government mind numbed robot.

Social Security is a big zero in my retirement plan (which I will pull the trigger on in a few years). I have it set to start taking SS benefits at age 70, maximum benefit level. If is is there, great. If not, it won’t change my lifestyle a whit.
But remember, SS (not SSI) was something people payed into and are supposed to get back. It isn’t welfare so people who plan on it are NOT “mind-numbed robots” anymore than people who paid into a bank-based retirement account.
