Social Security was put into effect when my dad was a young man. He told me that at that time, they were told the money would be in an account for when they retired. ie: what they put in, they would get out. He never saw half of what he paid in.

As a person on SS disability, I really wish congress would find some other outlet for their energies. Why don't the make me believe they really care about us by refusing their big fat (unneeded) raises every year. Does anyone really need a 3 to 5 THOUSAND DOLLAR A YEAR RAISE?
They don't do anything to deserve it. Just figure out ways to make my life more difficult!

Besides, THEY were the ones who spent the SS surplus a while back!!!
Sure make us suffer because they can't budget!
