Same here, and I'm a lot closer to collecting than you are. If Bush &
Cheney were seriously interested in reforming or fixing Social Security
(instead of their plan being a subterfuge to harvest campaign
contributions from Wall St), they'd offer that option.


They can't. That's the fundamental flaw of the system. We're not putting
money away for our retirement. We're paying for the retirement of those who
are now retired.
