Because not one single Republican has the cojones to stand up and call it what it is, let alone enough Republicans to sponsor a bill to end this Government sponsored thievery.

I don't know why we are arguing about it. We all know that as long as the 65 and older population block votes at a higher rate than the rest of us, no Administration in Government will propose, and no Congress ever elected will pass a repeal of Social Security.

What is most likely to happen, is that the government will continue to send out the checks, every month, whether they have the income from taxes to pay for them or not. And they will print dollar bills for the Federal Reserve Banks to issue to cash those checks. The resulting inflation will effectively reduce the benefits, to zero in the end, while the politicians maintain the fiction that the government is meeting its obligations to the retired.

Baby boomers want what they "invested" in the system. The majority are not well off enough to live off their savings in their old age. How many have savings in excess of $750.000? That's what it takes nowadays.
