It is probably time to admit that Social Security won't work. When it started people weren't living much past 65 or 70 and each generation was figured to be larger than the preceding one. A major flaw was the exemption of state and federal workers along with railroad and many others. The whole deal was probably unconstitutional to start with. I think decreasing benefits 1% a year until the program disappears would be an equitable way to gently get rid of the program. Drawing a payment funded by our children is not a right if they get the political muscle to cancel it. We did not pay for ours. We payed for the previous generation.
