They need to do something.
They need to honor the commitment made to people who have paid in for many years and no longer have enough working years left to seek an alternative retirement path.
They need to allow younger people to opt out of the system.

Social Security is a ponzi scheme. It was a mistake. I'd like to see a solution that doesn't screw over the older workers -- but we need to recognize that Social Security cannot be "fixed" in any meaningful way. It was always a fraud.

I would too.....but I don't think it can happen.

The underfunding is massive - any true fix will be painful to many.

Politically the important point is to hang this turd around the neck of the Democrats who thought it up and perpetuated the fraud.
