Yea! I finally received my cost of living increase in my social security and my check only went down $16.00 this time. At the rate this going i will be paying them SC in the near future. Gee if they would return the money borrowed from the fund it would not have any problem paying what it should be paying.

Social Security and Medicare are both crappy programs. We'd be better off with personal savings programs such as are found in Chile and Australia.

@MissKathleen Nothing is "stolen" from the Trust Fund. It is invested in the safest investment there is, US Bonds. The problem is when it began there were +/- 15 workers for every retiree, today there are less than two. It is not sustainable.
Someone has to pay for trumpski’s golf weekend and secret service for all the members of his family on thier weekly trips to Russia.
I hope you realize I’m being sarcastic. It’s a shame our seniors have to always suffer for governments poor money management.
