O.K., I see your point regarding
today's Social Security recipients.

They have indeed contributed something,
so I agree they are not "deadbeats"
in the traditional sense of the
word.

The real political problem is that
most Social Security recipients
have no idea how the program really
operates. They have been sold on
the fiction that they are receiving
back their own money that has been
"invested" for them in a "trust fund".

This sad political fact will make the
problem impossible to solve politically,
in my opinion. The whole program is going
to "blow up" in the not-too-distant future
with disastrous consequences.
