But when the gov't tells me that I MUST contribute to social security for my retirement and I MUST contribute to Medicare for my own health, then I demand that they commit to me a return on my investment.

They DID commit. But they didn't KEEP the commitment (and now, cannot possibly, it would appear).

Tim made a good point on this. They can just change the commitment if they choose to do so. Politically, one would think it would be difficult. Of course, one would think it was difficult to get 49 states to agree to cancel Medicare Advantage while PAYING $30 Billion FOR Medicare Advantage in Florida. Yet, they did it. So cutting other benefits could be just around the corner.
