Mom died at age 57 two years ago, and didn't get 1 dime of it. No survivor benefits, no spouse benefits, nothing just $255 for funeral costs. Its a Ponzi scheme, and I still have 40 years to go to collect!

Our government has been "robbing peter to pay paul" for the better part of 50 years! We once were a fiscally responsible nation (gold standard days), but now we have r...more

I'm 28, and either way you look at it, our entire generation will see an economic loss as compared to previous American generations. Any social security "reform" just implies that the young will bare the brunt of retirement cuts in the future, while those 55+ will see no change to their benefits. Exorbitant amounts of ...more
