07/12/2006 | What I don't think is very fair is that they're taking money out of paychecks for Social Security, and then nine times out of ten it won't be there by retirement age. And from what I heard, this could happen in a shorter amount of time than what one thinks. It is something to be very concerned about.

04/28/2006 | its not enough to get by on for those that retire and a headache for those disabled having to deal with the underlying feeling that you get that they don't believe you need it.

11/17/2005 | I am not worried. I'm only 24 years old and I started a 401k about a year ago.

11/17/2005 |  I'm OK with the violin playing. I'm OK with the concept of a majority (slim though it may have been) imposing this obligation on all the taxpayers in the country, fostering a lifelong dependence by many people on an easily changeable investment scam, known in some places, as a government shell game. (I'd like to see it stand the test of constitutionality that, say, prayer in schools has had to face) It's been changed so many times, it almost doesn't even resemble the "social security" system initially passed by Congress.
So desperately in need of reform was it, as Bush started his second term, that the contributor/beneficiary ratio is down to 3 to 1, reasonably projected to continue its consistent march toward 1 to 1 over the next decade or so. But the democrats in their blind hatred-driven obstruction of anything Bush proposes, have successfully derailed the bi-partisan effort by assuring today's contributors that there really is no significant problem with the system today.
Overall, helpful to American society in spite of incredible waste , inefficiency and false claims of solvency. How a private firm guilty of such an obvious defalcation would be punished and publicly mocked and jeered at as a pariah.

11/17/2005 | I know several elderly people who would be in dire straits if not for their social security checks.A civilized society should have some way to take care of its senior citizens.Politicians who want to get their hands on this money and gamble it away on the stock market should be retired immediately,have their earnings seized-and forced to live on Social Security the rest of their lives.

11/17/2005 | Social security is a good system that despite its flaws allows retired and disabled Americans to continue to receive money to aid in their day to day living.
