I maintain that social security was bad from its inception, and must be reformed. At its inception, the burden of one retiree was carried by 32 workers, as opposed to 3:1 now. And with the baby boomers retiring... I say we scrap the whole thing, phasing it out over 20 years. Like a band-aid, it was useful during the depression, and now that it's dirty, best rip it off quick to avoid stinging. I can respect the socialist who says "yes I want complete welfare state", but the people who beat around the bush make me want to pull my hair out. "Well, we cap this, we give them some control ove their accounts and take others, we increase benefits a bit for workers and decrease a bit for the wealthiest Americans," etc. Just tell us what the f-ck you're talking about! Don't give me propaganda! I don't want your TelePrompTer pre-recorded crap! I want stats!
