Not very many boomers, especially among the younger ones, seriously expect to get their pre-agreed upon SS payments for the rest of their lives. What will happen is that after a lifetime of paying into the system they'll be lucky to receive a fraction of the purchasing power they have been "scheduled" to get... under the deal.

With SS, what happens, happens... The runaway incomes and pensions of public employees are becoming a larger problem. It was criminal on the part of politicians to allow this to happen. Public employees are becoming a privileged segment of our society - and that is extremely unhealthy.
