If my 15% (my and my employer’s contribution) had been invested at the unreasonable low level of 5%, I would be able to live comfortably on the interest and have hundreds of thousands to pass on to heirs...even after paying medical expenses, if I were to have any.

If if if if if if if if if.

Newsflash, it wasn't invested. It was spent. It is gone. FACE REALITY.

Doesn’t matter, they didn’t get a high rate of return so they get to steal from their grandkids instead of working an extra year. True conservatives all.

You missed the point, Virginia...It is about control...that money in my control vs the Govt’s control...the @$$hole$ in the govt couldn’t claw their way out of a wet paper bag...and maybe you would have a problem too, if you are defending the entitlement concept of Soc Sec.

That's funny, my Mom still gets her check every month. If she didn't that would be it for both of us.
