Yes, for sure people deserve to get back what they paid into the system. That money has been stolen. There is no SS crisis, the trust has trillions of "special treasuries", the government IOUs. The total amount in these IOUs is probably much greater than reported national debt. It's the government that is insolvent because it can't possibly pay back what it borrowed from the SS trust over the years. None of that matters, we already heard that it's the SS trust that is running low on cash. This amounts to a default by the government on the special IOUs that it put in the SS trust fund. But... who knows about that? Was this ever openly stated by the press? No, of course not. Unfortunately, the elderly and the disabled often suffer the most in times of economic crisis.
