I also paid in but we were both lied to and I am willing to accept reality.
If the politicians had left the money in a interest bearing account until it got used in stead of putting it into the general fund, we would not be having this conversation.
Now, if the FIRST steps were to eliminate the fraud, waste and abuse, the xfer those on disability under retirement age to welfare, then we could see what it really costs.
Right now, we are being given information BY THE GOVERNMENT on their incompetence.
We are being told we don't have enough money for those that paid into the system BUT there is no such thing as islamic terrorists.
Pardon me if I am a little suspicious of what I am being told by the government.
