Uhh... I didn't say anything about parties in my 3 points. Social Security was a bad idea, has always been a bad idea, will never be anything but a Ponzi scheme, need I go on?

Yes, the raiding of the "trust fund" has accelerated its demise. Yes, both parties have done it and in neither case should it have been done. But it was doomed to failure the moment it was implemented, though it would not have failed yet.

Social Security sucks. You are forced into a "retirement" program that doesn't even give you the principal back, let alone any compounded interest, and then your already taxed "contributions" are taxed again.

Work on your reading comprehension next time before you blast off.
