People who paid into the existing system have a reasonable right to
expect they will get back what they put in. But the system today
pays out far, far more than the recipients every put in. The system
is iniquitous and should never have been implemented in the first place -
it is a ponzi scheme the like of which Madoff would only have dreamed.
The way you get out of it is by diminishing benefits 4% per year for the
next 25 years until it is gone entirely. Retire today, get full benefits
for life. Retire next year, get 96% benefits, and so on.

This is bad logic: The government screwed up social services for the last
60
years - let's have them do more of it.


If it never should have been implemented, then urge your mother to swear it
off, and you pay for her healthcare out-of-pocket.

Put your money where you mouth is.
