No. No.

The OP gets it wrong, dead wrong. But until folks really understand WTF SS is, and what it isn't, this is a discussion worth having.

SS is not a retirement benefit.
SS is a major benefit to the Federal Government.

The latter explains the DC fervor to "fix" SS, 10 yrs in advance of program financing going red.

Agreed. And since I already get a lousy return on my tax dollars, I have no interest in paying more into the government coffers under the guise of keeping SS solvent. I wouldn't be surprised if they implement a means test by the time I retire.
