With that said, I would settle for 25% of the SS I've paid to date, if I could control it. That 25% is much better than 0% in 25 more years.

I got all my years and years of social security payments back by having them as a client for 4-5 years.

But you bring up an idea that has been brought up over and over and that is the government should offer to buy out the current stake holders as it were. I think a lot of people wish they could simply receive an annuity in place of the "promise". If they'd done it 15 years ago when it was first suggested it would have been considerably cheaper. I'd settle just to be let out since I have probably a good 20-30 years of work left in me and that 12.5% they siphon off would be a lot nicer in an investment of my own choosing. I KNOW I'm better with money than they are.
