Many years ago I determined that Social Security was built like a pyramid scheme and that at the income level that I intended to retire with would necessarily be means tested out of the program. This was almost 30 years ago. I think it is disingenuous and disastrous to me personally to treat it as a part of my retirement.. Add to that the fact that the SSTF is the biggest hold of government debt, it just adds to the book-cooking perception that I have. I'm not all that crazy about wealth transfer - I believe that wealth creation is sustainable - but some people are not going to be able to participate in any kind of wealth creation program.
