Just a couple of points...as I see it, one reason we do not have enough workers contributing is that we have aborted generations of potential contributors in the name of “Woman’s right to chose”. Secondly, how does pegging the SS benefit to about what one could make flipping burgers help the elderly stay out of poverty? Do we not see many of these fast food workers demonstrating for a “living wage”?

That coupled with the fact that families stopped having as many children as more folks focused on careers rather than families
There is still a surplus of workers per non working elderly retired, disabled (although under this current regime many millions more went on disability who did NOT need it)- although it’s less worker per non worker than it used to be, there still should be a surplus- and I find it very odd that the surplus hasn’t been used in investments in such a way as to keep it growing money in an effective manner- With smart investments, we should never have gotten into this problem in the first place- instead though SS was stolen and spent, and now they can’t find the money they spent to replace what they stole, but they can find $600 billion a year for illegals?
