Quote:I expect to never see a penny in return from social security.

 

Oh, come on. You know as well as I do that there will never be a lack of funds for Social Security. Modifications, certainly, but you'll get your money (much more than you actually paid in probably).

 

It has become the Holy of Holies and the politicians will always find a way.

 

Seniors vote in greater numbers than any other group (as percent of population) and it wouldbe political suicide for a politician to say he even thought about doing anything regarding SS.

 

I've always favored the idea of making part of SS accounts into 401(k)s, but you see how quickly any such talk gets shot down.
