Socialist Security should be completely dismantled. All past/current participants should have the option of receiving a lump sum payment now. The amount would be the sum of employee and employer contributions plus interest. Most younger people, under 50 for example, would take the money and run. Let retired people stay with it, if they want, or they can opt out too, receiving their original "investment" plus interest minus payments received so far. No more new participants - let this monsterous, socialist ponzi scheme die from lack of new suckers.

True but impossible.
The purse strings are the power in DC.
I'm 51 and I would take a lump sum payment of my Social Security Banefits and run.
This Senate vote is outrageous. Illegal aliens have more rights now than citizens.
