We sorta started this convo yesterday before Ben posted. It was Trump that suggested we need to look at SS.

He's right. It's untenable and merely creates another way our debt can be bought by foreigners. The ONLY real way to save SS is to increase intake, or decrease output.

Ben's thoughts about taxpayers not paying someone's retirement are spot on. Call it welfare, or disability (again), it's yet another social plan that went off the rails years ago.
