Default Re: Entitled Selfishness: Good Newsweek article on the consquences of leaving SS as is..

I think that one of the problems that exist is that most people can't possibly live on social security and what they save. Alone, the medical sometimes exceed what they receive. When social security was begun alot of retirees lived with their kids or the kids lived with their parents and they both helped one another out. Today, we have everyone going their own way living thousands of miles away from each other and can't be there in time of need. I think that our lifestyle has a lot to do with it.
