"Even after adjusting for the assumed 4 percent inflation, the 25- and 45-year-old contributors can expect positive real rates of return in virtually every case." That's funny. I know what I've put in and I've gotten killed vs. inflation. I am 57.

I recall back in the late 80's early 90's, there was a point where a person retiring at 65 who had paid into SS their whole working life...got it all back plus t-bill(bond) interest in 23 months. Quite amazing that the bennies had increased that much and the payments in were no that much. I imagine this has changed since.
