I have always been mystified how often there will be announcements that social security is in peril and will run out. How come you never ever hear of that about welfare gimmees?? The first: We working folks have been required to pay into. The other funds: Those who have never paid a freaking cent for anything. What the hell is up with that??? Folks who have worked ALL THEIR LIVES as well as those truly in need are ROBBED by "entitled" lazy people.
