Social Security also delivers a considerable nonmonetary benefit: people who have contributed throughout their working lives know that, regardless of the ebb and flow of their careers and, indeed, of the stock market, a guaranteed pension awaits them.
What gives with this? Is this right? A guaranteed pension? I have heard numerous commentators say the SS pension is NOT guaranteed. So who is right?
How could anyone believe in anything as transient and ephemeral as the US Government or its ability to pay up on its bonds?
