Scrimp and save your own retirement funds. 401(k), Roth, whatever. Gold and silver might be good ideas, too, considering the way our government is handling our currency, although a friend told me recently that if I was invested in gold, I should sell about half of it.
When SS runs out, it’s gonna be a world of hurt. Hopefully, government will get rid of the FICA tax at that time, but I’m probably hoping for too much.

Well right after being reelected in 2004, Bush tried to fix social security and Democrats and the corrupt MSM screamed like stuck pigs.

Save SS enroll all us older Americans over 55 into Obama Care. There's a method to their madness.

It’s insane to have government running any entitlement program. SS is proof. Medicare, medicaid, proof. VA Hospitals, proof.
Yes, the proof is in. And the dems are hell bent in destroying themselves to get government to run our healthcare.
Keep the powder dry.

Personally, I would get rid of SS altogether, and eliminate the payroll tax along with it. This may sound contradictory to my earlier replies to some, but it’s not. Whether SS is forcibly eliminated or it eventually goes bankrupt, everyone is going to have to save their own money for retirement, in addition to what they eventually have to spend for relatives currently on the system.

Part of the problem, as I see it, is that if you put your money into any banking system it is at risk. That’s why many folks (like Russians) have been burned more than once and keep their things of value close at hand. It seem that anytime there is a pot of money big enough somebody’s going to try to steal it.
Put yourself in control.

The solution is obvious: spend more money on it.

Social Security is the only annuity program where the government declares itself the beneficiary!

Besides, I screwed up part of the message. Properly, it should read:

Just wait until your father comes home. You are in for the beating of your life.
It is going to be one ugly sight when millions of retirees get their walkers and march on Versailles. Osama bin Laden has a better chance of hiding than the politicians who mess with the seniors.
