Good - now come up with a plan to phase it out over the next 25 years for everyone currently under 62 years of age and drive a stake through its heart.

What you do is, form a corporation and have this corporation assume all of the national debt and then have it declare bankruptcy.

Before you do that, pay back all the money these people have put into the system, with interest.

Where’s Harry Reid to make the “bold” assertion there’s nothing wrong with Social Security... those words that he used when Bush wanted to cushion the fall by allowing recipients the option of privately investing up to 2%?

All they need to do is pay back the $2.5 Trillion they borrowed from the fund.

Just give me back what I paid and let me worry about it.

Dream on.
That money’s as long-gone as Bernie Madoff’s money.
Including the hundreds of thousands I’ve put into it (Social Security).

I've got an great idea!
SS can just issue bonds to cover the ever-growing deficits and the Fed can buy them with printed money!
Problem solved!
Now wasn't that easy?

If they would give back the IOU’s, we could go to McDonalds and get a Number 2. (With a coke). That being said, if people don’t start bringing up the IOU’s they’ll continue to rip people off. The people of this country need to stand up and say “Wait a minute, you guys that stole the money, are off the payroll until it’s returned.”

I don’t care what name we put on it. The money was taken from the people, against their wishes.

Damn I was sposed to get the first of my money back on April Fools Day. Perfect. I applied early cause they lowered the pay amount 3 times in the last six months and 40 bucks less than the report I just got in January said i would start getting back. April Fools Suckers. I will trade it and medicare for all laws passed since 1950 to be immediately repealed and all the Agencies terminated.
