"The first SS beneficiary was Ida Mae Fuller who contributed a total of just under $25 to the program before retiring"
I imagine the second person had almost the same deal. It's a lot different when you start putting in at age 18 or 20, like most of us do..

" given that millions of people have paid into the system for decades, yet there are only funds sufficient to pay benefits for three years, "
Wrong.

" is it not true that the average SS recipient is, in fact, a welfare recipient? "
No. Are people with union or corporate pensions welfare recipients?
