That's not what the program is. Geeshus cripes, it's not a savings account. It's not a retirement account. It's not a ****ing tax.
It's an old-age pension, a safety net, that we the society gives our seniors, because we got tired of seeing them die of poverty in the streets.
And
there is no major or immediate - or even intermediate - problem with Social Security meeting all it's obligations. This is all false alarm and nonsensical straw men.
Geehus - worry about something that matters, that is a real problem, like Medicaid or Medicare. Good lord.
