NOT a Retirement Program, it is a supplement to ones savings or in the old days pension. Yes for many it is all they got. Different discussion.

Workers PAY into SS it is ours we own it

SS Provides Disability Insurance

SS Provides Widow and Children Benefits

SS has a cash value when you hit 62 today 64 soon.

SS is basically a whole life with disability insurance policy with monthly annuity payouts when ones hits the retirement age.

It is a pretty simple program to explain, propaganda, lies and ignorance is the problem.
