Randi Rhodes has been saying for years that there is no SS problem. She doesnt get it either. The problem all started back in the late 60s when congress decided they could "borrow" SS funds.
Thats why ever since I was about 25 I started planning for a retirement without SS just in case. I'll be 65 in 13 yrs, we'll see.
