It persists because the govt lacks the funds to pay everyone that has paid into it back. The idea that compassion determines anything that is done in Washington outside of Barney Franks townhouse is laughable.

Amazing that you, too, think "payback" is the only thing standing in the way of eliminating social security.

Nonsense. Just vote in people to repeal it. Gather your fellow citizens. Stop further collections immediately. Let the payout be pro-rated among those that have contributed until it's all gone. Easy.

Of course it's possible. Social Security could certainly be repealed. It hasn't been possible so far. Apparently citizens don't think it's necessary. Hence, social security exists.
