I like the article info. I do think the editorials on policitians should be limited.
SS cannot "go away". If it did, I think 50% of retirees would be out on street.
It will be reformed (through increased taxes, decreased benefits, or something in between).
It would also help if during a discussion like this, the other side- what you get for your taxes/SS/medicare is also mentioned.
The post briefly mentioned SS as disability insurance, and this to me was important. Don't overlook the fact that once you get 40 SS credits, you get a full SS benefit (according to SS statements I get in the mail).
