What pi$$es me off to no end is that they call SS an entitlement. Entitlements are hand outs to people who did nothing to earn them, but somehow feel entitled to them anyways. Those of us who worked our a$$es off for many long years and had SS taken out of our checks every year are not entitled to the benefits, we are OWED the benefits. If the $$ was never taken out of our paychecks, and instead we were able to keep it and save it, we would not need SS. Stop calling it an entitlement and shore up the dam system so the people that are owed the $$ don't have to worry about a funding shortfall.
