I'm all for returning the same level of benefits to the participants that they paid in, as well as some nominal level of interest as long as that guarantees the currrent payees into the system get something out too (which is by no means assured). I think breaking a promise to some well-off elderly is preferential to grossly overtaxing the young. I realize a promise was made but promises are broken all the time.

Hey Bill, long time... Ummm, how long does it take someone retiring today to get back absolutely every penny they paid in plus, oh, say, 10% interest? Six months? A year? Two years? Probably not much more than that. After that they're just sucking up my money- money that I worked for and they didn't. That sounds like welfare to me....
