Had the money for Social Security been invested at even a small interest rate and not touched for any other reason other than to pay out as Social Security, maybe you wouldn't be in fear of being screwed! Better yet, maybe you shouldn't be forced to pay into a system that is claiming to have your best interest at heart. Leave your money alone and let you prepare for retirement using your own creative, survival instincts.
The GOVERNMENT doesn't need an auditing company to come and misrepresent the financial status of this country. In Washington DC, the elected officials don't give a hoot about their constituents. It is spend, pad their own retirements and healthcare, spend some more, defund our defense, and spend some more. Oh, then when they run out of OUR MONEY to spend, they just RAISE OUR TAXES.
If that ain't GREED, I don't know what is!
