Agreed - BUT ... I'm talking about the baby boomers. The vast majority of baby boomers won't retire (or be eligible) for Social Security for another 15-20 years. What will the situation be then??? What will a dollar be worth then?? How many worker bees will there be for each retiree??? Polls show that more boomers believe in UFOs then believe they will get S.S. benefits; let alone break even in inflated dollars. Social Security is one more government program that penalizes productive people who save and invest wisely (i.e. less benefits) and rewards the people who give no thought to tomorrow and squander every dime they earn today. But what does this have to do with gold? ... a stash of gold is REAL social security.
