Well through abortion we have killed a lot of our population that would have been contributing to SS.That's the first problem.
Second as to SS being welfare, let's see give me the money I have paid in over the last 44 years with 5% interest which is well below what I could have done on my own and I will be happy to call it even.
I think the solution is to work toward privatizing retirement in steps. Part of that will be to let the private citizen contribute some of thier money to private accounts they can't close or take money out of and part will be raising the retirement age.IMHO that is a sensible solution.
By the way SS money should have always been in a separate trust fund never to be used for government spending which started looooong before Bush.
