My son took to drugs right out of high school and died at age 36 of an overdose. He never worked a real job in his short life. And yet the one year old little girl he left behind, our new grand daughter, receives $950 a month in SS survivor benefits. She'll receive that until she's 18, I believe. I think it might even help send her to college too.
Now, don't get me wrong. I don't begrudge my granddaughter the money she receives. I'm glad she gets it. Her dad died. She'll need it growing up. Hopefully her mother won't spend it away. They were't married and she's not that reliable.
But my point is, the system pays her over half of my benefits and her dad never worked a steady, full-time job and yet I worked my whole life.
No wonder the system is broke.
That is a sad story and quite unfair.
What leftists touch, they always ruin.
