I feel your pain...I am resigned to being without it. It isn't there only a huge pile of IOU's.SS is really pissing me off too.....I'm maybe 6 yrs from retirement, have had to pay into it since i was about 18 yrs old...and now hoping i'll get it!
SS isn't drawing down its principal. Annual income plus interest income on the bonds is currently more than enough to fulfill payout obligations.
With minor adjustments that situation can be sustained.
THERE IS NO MONEY in there. Just a pile of IOU's
It's a forced contribution, not what is commonly considered an "entitlement.
But I'll tell you what. I've paid into it for 46 years. Damned straight, I'm entitled to it.
