<We're going to need all those new workers to pay YOUR SS, so you should be for them!> Possibly true, but to pay SS we need high wage earners not menial workers working informally and illegally. It seems grossly unfair to let ease of access determine who can and can not be admitted as a citizen. I'm pretty sure that my SS has been paid for since my benefits will be low and my cash payments have been very high. These cash dollars have been turned into debt instruments - essentially IOUs. As I said in a previous post I deduced 30 years ago that by the time I would be eligible, SS likely would be little more than a supplement, if I get anything. If they push retirement up to 70 they are changing the agreement unilaterally. I have no intention to be clocking 9-5 at that age. I'd like to have spent the previous 10 years experiencing the world I helped to build and to continue doing things that are useful. Maybe Engineers without Borders or something like that... I'm not confident in the future of SS. JMO.
