I don't think anybody thinks SS payments are acceptable income in themselves.

But the problem really is real estate. For some reason, some supporters of the elderly put forth arguments that housing is not relevant as to net worth, and that these folks should never be expected to move no matter what their house is worth. That would be alright except that those rules do not apply to the younger generations... houses now cost so much that they must be considered investments, people in their 30s that are incapacitated for some reason and lose income are almost always forced to sell their homes. So there is a double standard that implies that the elderly get their home as some sort of right, whereas younger people don't, and thats the problem.
