Sadly, it might come true. Im already seeing my Ins double what I used to pay per month as well as fewer Drs available to me. I cant wait till that snake and its nest of snakes are all out of office. I cant remember ever-when I saw so many freaks running the Govt-not even under jimmy carter nor even under slick willy clinton.

 

George III maybe?

 

Funny and sadly right on the mark.

 

Social security = Giant Ponzi Scheme cooked up by democratic politicians and never really challenged by the repubs.

It was great when the age population pyramid had 1 retired person for every 10 workers. Now not so good; oh, and your SS money was never in a lock box with your name; just an IOU from Congress now...But SS still buys votes (sadly)

 

As OP mentioned, great quote from Dewey. Another thing to keep in mind here, not only are there fewer paying into the SS fund as the years go on, the life expectancy has increased over the years as well. When Social Security was first implimented the average life span for a working male was 59.9 years, and a female was 63.9 years. That would increase from that level in 1935 over the years but wouldn’t be much over 65 until 1960 when the men made it to 66.6 and women hit 73.1 years.

See:

Life Expectancy at Birth by Race and Sex, 1930–2005 — Infoplease.com

Fewer workers paying in, people living longer and collecting longer as well.

 

I think you are slightly incorrect here as well "texson", more Republicans voted for Social Security, in both houses of Congress than voted against it.

In the Senate 16 vote yay, and only 5 voted nay. In the House, 81 voted yay, 15 voted nay.

Ironically the same number of House members from the Democratic side of the aisle voted against the bill as Republicans, i.e. 15.

In the Senate, the same number of Senators (9) registered a "non-vote" in both parties by either not voting at all, saying "I abstain", or simply saying "present". Nine Democrats, nine Republicans took that course.
