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.




Those who are now retired made it possible for you.



No, we have a "Trust Fund" of money. It is a "lock box" of money.




Sorry, I'm talking here about the opportunities created for today's
generations by those those who came before.

Isn't that what every preceeding generation does for the next throught the
whole of history?
