The early users of SS are making out. In a few years that will change as the only way to continue paying benefits will either involve taking almost all the pay of younger workers, using general revenues or drastic reduction of benefits. You need to learn how to do some basic logical thinking. Whoops, you are a liberal so most of your brain doe's not function. Two workers for each retiree cannot generate enough income to pay benefits.

Your post is operating on false assumptions fed to you by Republican Party politicians. Note, for example, that the year in which the SS surplus allegedly will disappear has been postponed several times already. If the surplus ever disappears, some possible remedies include modest reductions in the rate of benefit increases, and use of general revenues to make up any difference.
