>>The money was destined to pay current beneficiaries, when SS was started. This is correct, but they had no idea the imbalance between plan assets and obligations would become untenable. >> You also called SS a Retirement plan, it's not, and never was. You don't like it, and don't seem to understand it. I don't believe I did, but it wouldn't matter. The point is the he program is broke and it will not be able to recover without breaking the original social contract. One other point is your quote from the SSA website is what they are saying NOW. It was not sold by FDR on that basis.
