"Oh, and we also know that the Federal employees, including our elected 'Public Servants', never have to pay into Social Security, and get their own sweetheart deal, so what do they care if it fails?" Sorry AMS, that's not true. Most Federal employees currently contribute to Social Security. The switch from the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) to the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) happened in the mid-80's. At the time CSRS employees could switch to FERS or stay in CSRS. However, all new hires went to FERS which includes SSI as part of their retirement plan. I believe that your elected public servants have their own separate retirement plan that doesn't include SSI, so there may still be some merit to your argument.
