so why doesn't the Federal Government *guarantee* my
future benefits like a private insurance annuity?

Instead, the 1960 Supreme Court case says that Congress
can pay me anything they want (or nothing at all) when
I retire! I have no legal right to any benefits!

Gee, if Social Security is so "solvent", why can't
they do this?
