I agree. When the Boomer generation came of age and started to work and contribute to Social Security the ratio of those paying into it and those getting payouts from it must have been huge. Therefore the "fund" should have been enormous. Wanna bet that's how LBJ was able to have both "guns and butter"...i.e. the Vietnam War and the "Great Society"?

They took our money, Sonny, every chance they got. And then kept extending the retirement age when one could collect their own money without penalty.
