Honestly, though. Do you really believe that any system that let's participants pay in $10, but receive $100 in return is something that is sustainable, especially when the later generations are smaller in size than the current retiring generation? It is simply mathematically impossible. I find it hilarious that the folks in this country are living in such a fantasy land that now they are even trying to defy the laws of mathematics. It's like having a debate about evolution with Creationists who believe the earth is 10,000 years old, despite me pointing out the dinosaur bones we've found that are much older than that.

Do you know that many people pay into the SS fund for years and never get a red cent because they die before they turn 70? Increase the contributions if you think the fund will go broke but don't take it away. Its the only safety net we have in this country.
