If you worked 50 yrs, then your about 6 years older than me....
I won't be losing anything....nothing will change for people close to retirement (over 55).
So your rant is a bunch of BS.
Besides, if you don't think SOMETHING needs to be done with SS then your nuts! If it weren't for our government "borrowing" so much of it, giving it out to people who didn't put into it, using it to fund Obamacare, we wouldn't be in this spot. Something has to be done or there won't be anything there in a few years!
Stop your whining.....
$2.5 TRILLION of the national debt is debt owed to the social security administration.
So when the government pays social security to the recipients the Government is not borrowing money, they're PAYING IT BACK to the WORKERS who lent this nation that money in the first place.
Now go read a book and get yourself educated.
The government is indeed "borrowing the money" to cover current payments because that $2.5 Trillion that they owe SS is the OP's money that they have already spent.
Now they are "borrowing" from our children's SS to pay back the money they "borrowed" from the parents.
What used to be insurance is now a government ponzi scheme.
Just wait until the prime rate raises...let's see what happens with borrowing money then.
