Not many retires are old enough to remember SS was a contract with the govt, you pay in all your life, THRN you collect when you retire. It was a govt hedge against inflation.
Probably a little offensive when the govt changes the rules when you get to the end of the contract.....
SS is one of the few welfare programs left that had a goal, a plan in place, and worked.
Changing population makes the math harder to work out now, but at least it has a framework that could be fixed and remain functional.
