Paul, you're being foolish.

This is NOT Europe. Social Security was NOT designed to be welfare.

But it has become that for sure.

It was passed into law and presented to the American people as the govt. taking your money and giving it back to you in your retirement. Not as the govt. taking your money and paying for old people before you.

That's the foundation of the entire Social Security system. The federal govt. has blown that money on other things of course. And you're right about life expectancy. The age to collect it needs to be raised.

But politicians are too spineless to do it.
