Fair Enough. It was was your little “adoption” remark that got me. Everyone has paid in and the retirees now have paid for 45 years. The system needs to go into Wall Street as the President proposed earlier. Dems refused because that would tie America indelibly to Capitalism.

I know that a lot of people paid in to the system for many years. But there are many little old ladies that worked from say 1949-1954 and then a little part time here and there. They get full benifits and they tend to live a long time.
God bless them, but ouch.
