You are a blind fool. The Social Security Fraud has been accepted because the 30's generation was foolish when it was young, and is now FEEBLE and foolish when it's old. The Boomers are simple fraudsters, expecting the X and Y generations to transfer wealth to them. The Boomers will meet a dismal end for their mass duplicity, and will deserve it...

O.K., I see your point regarding today's Social Security recipients. They have indeed contributed something, so I agree they are not "deadbeats" in the traditional sense of the word. The real political problem is that most Social Security recipients have no idea how the program really operates. They have been sold on the fiction that they are receiving back their own money that has been "invested" for them in a "trust fund". This sad political fact will make the problem impossible to solve politically, in my opinion. The whole program is going to "blow up" in the not-too-distant future with disastrous consequences.
