I completely agree with getting rid of all the welfare accretions that have attached themselves to the SS system.

That may well be the easiest part of the fix.

My problem is with those Freepers who complain about those accretions in order to not confront the long-term demographic collapse of the core system.

I have looked into the pure ‘welfare accretions’ (nice term), and while it seems hard to get a straight number on the cost of those, it does seem to be around 10% at most.
