People like the OP somehow "miss" that Social Security as it now exists will soon become insolvent if it isn't fixed which is what some politicians with spines, like Paul Ryan, have gone way out on a political limb to attempt to do.
Contrast that with the political cowardice of Barack Obama who attacks others for trying to fix something that he won't touch even though it's quite apparent SOMETHING has to be done. Leaders make the tough calls and Barack Obama is NOT a leader.
Obama and other politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle will not touch SS because it is a political nuclear bomb.
I have one solution if SS is left intact. Eliminate the federal pension system and have all of the well over two million federal employees contribute to the SS system.
