There is no question that Social Insecurity is going to go belly-up; its just a matter of time. The level of spending cannot be sustained. Congress has already been quietly "reforming" SS over the last two decades by raising the age for getting benefits at the same time increasing the amount of income subject to SS theft. I'm sure you have felt the crunch just as we all have. SS was put in place before I was born; I have been in favor of a major overhaul of the SS pie from the day I got my first paycheck.

So now, over my working lifetime, the RATs and the Vermin in government have stolen well over six figures from me. I'm sorry, but I want every damn penny back. And I won't settle for less. If I don't get it, there is going to be some major unpleasantness involving aspects of the 2nd Amendment, as is my birthright (and yours). I will settle for a check covering the full amount (with no income payable from it) right now. I will sign away away any future benefits IF the bastards stop taking any more SS withholding from now on. Think it will happen?

"Think it will happen?"

No. Unfortunately.

Don't worry old people like yourself have much more power than the youth. Rather than take away your entitlement programs, the politicians are working hard to get your votes since old people vote at a higher percentage than the young.

Basically this will be the first generation to rob from the young to fund retirements golfing in Florida and Arizona. Democracy is not a guarantee for the moral correct thing being done...

What kinda amazes me is that I personally know of two people that never even cash their social security checks. They don't need to, they have a lot of money, and it goes right into their savings and investment accounts. Maybe they'll pass it down to their kids someday. I don't know. It just seems rather strange as they have deposited these checks for years now....
