SS IS a problem though. It's a pyramid scheme. Something does need to
be done. personally, I believe that SS should be rolled over into the
welfare program where "need" is a factor in determing who gets paid. SS
should not be a right, it should be part of a social incurance program
to act as a safety net. Same is true of unemployment. 1 program
instead of 3 (or 52 if you consider that states run their own
unemployment programs)

Social Security was not intended to be a long term program and FDR was
quite vocal about people should put money into investments...includind
SSI money.
